すべての法ほう律りつを小ちいさいころから学がく習しゅうしていくことは不ふ可か能のうなことですが、法ほう的てきな考かんがえ方かた（リーガルマインド）を身みにつけることで、自じ分ぶんで考かんがえ・調しらべ、自じ分ぶんで解かい決けつする能のう力りょくは格かく段だん（注1）に高たかまります。

法ほう教きょう育いくというとどうしても、「法ほう律りつを教おしえる」と考かんがえがちですが、それだけが法ほう教きょう育いくではないのは、言いうまでもありません（注2）。クラスのみんなで、クラスの問もん題だい点てんを洗あらい出だし、どうすれば解かい決けつできるのか。そして、それを解かい決けつするため、また、再さい発はつさせないためにはどのようなルールが必ひつ要ようか、ということを話はなし合あい、みんなで民みん主しゅ的てきに（注3）ルールを作つくっていくこともまさに法ほう教きょう育いくの一ひとつの姿すがたです。

さまざまなルール（法ほう）は民みん主しゅ的てきに作つくられ、約やく束そく事ごと契けい約やくは当とう事じ者しゃ（注4）の合ごう意い（注5）により締てい結けつされる（注6）といった、法ほうの基き本ほん的てきなところを身みをもって体たい験けんすることができます。

また、新しん聞ぶんを多た用ようし、時じ事じ的てきなニュースを使つかった法ほう教きょう育いくも効こう果かがあります。憲法改正けんぽうかいせい、選せん挙きょの問もん題だい、消しょう費ひ者しゃ問もん題だいなどは、それだけを教おしえようとするとつまらないものですが、新しん聞ぶんなどを使つかった旬しゅんの（注7）話はなしになると、子こ供どもたちの興きょう味みも惹ひきやすくなります。自じ分ぶん自じ身しんのことと考かんがえることができるかどうかは、理り解かいのスピードに大おおきな差さを生うみますが、具ぐ体たい的てきな「今いま」問もん題だいとなっている事じ例れいは、その点てん、すぐれた教きょう材ざいとなります。
