Act Like A Teen, Think Like A Lawyer
By Attorney Renette L. Jackson
”Simple in design. Transformative in impact. This critical thinking guide gives teens the tools to stop, think, and act BEFORE THEY ACT.
It’s not a textbook. It’s not a lecture. It’s not a workbook. It is a straight-talking, real-world ROADMAP that hands young adults the one tool parents, teachers, administrators and the community wishes they’d had sooner: the ability to think before they act.
Act Like a Teen, Think Like a Lawyer is a critical thinking guide written for teenagers navigating one of the most consequential periods of their lives. It is not a textbook. It is not a lecture. It is a straight-talking, real-world roadmap that hands young adults the one tool parents, teachers, administrators and the community wishes they’d had sooner: the ability to think before they act.
The book walks teenagers through the legal, social, mental and life consequences of everyday decisions – from social media behavior and peer pressure to relationships, employment, and civil rights. Each chapter is built around the kind of critical thinking practice lawyers use daily. And this practice is as easy as 6,7,6,7.
At a time when the consequences of uninformed decisions can be disproportionately severe, arming young people with legal literacy and critical thinking skills is not just an educational intervention – it is an act of necessity.
FIRST LOOK AT THE BOOK, WHAT’S INSIDE:
- “IF–THEN” K.I.S.S. Critical Thinking Practice — Easier Than 6,7,6,7
- Preconsequential Awareness Doctrine — Before the Action Comes the Awareness
- Real Acts. Real Consequences. Real Answers from a Real Lawyer.
Help a teen. Help the future.
