DELREC’s mission is to increase diversity in Delaware’s Bench, Bar and Legal Community by increasing knowledge of the law and removing barriers to careers in the justice system.

1. Fostering a greater understanding of the law and judicial branch among students in Delaware schools;

3. Providing access to students in Delaware to information about careers in the legal and public service sectors; and

4. Supporting access to DELREC’s programs and fostering interest in legal and civics careers.

We implement programs inside and outside of the classroom, from kindergarten through law school and every step in between.

Finally, we facilitate first generation law student, college, and high school events and cultivate an inclusive legal community.
