Kids' Guide To Law, Business & Government

 

Welcome to the Wenger Kids' Page.  Below are links to the coolest sites on the internet for law, business, and government.  There are sites for kids of all ages.  Learn how to start your own business or how the President of the United States is elected.  If you are a cyber sluth, check out the F.B.I, A.T.F, C.I.A. or N.S.A. websites to learn more about being a detective.  Check out the awesome international sites to learn more about a foreign country and the kids who live there.  Log on each day to see the Kids News Headlines - news just for kids.  If you just want to play some games, cut to the chase and go straight to the Games & Activities section.  Better yet, check out Dumb & Dumber for stories about the dumbest criminals, strangest lawsuits, craziest warning labels, and of course the wierdist laws.  Did you know that in Hartford, Connecticut, it is illegal to educate a dog, and in Carmel, California, it is against the law to eat ice cream while standing on the sidewalk.

 

 

You may also be interested in knowing your legal rights.  Besides the right to remain silent (which your parents might like), did you know that you have the right...  Connect to Street Law for practical information on courts, lawyers, family law, torts, criminal law, juvenile justice, and consumer law.  If you are intrigued by all of this, you might even consider a career in law - paralegal, legal secretrary, attorney, prosecutor, law enforcement officer, judge, or politician just to name a few.
