This is broader than your question, but since someone else asked earlier,
here goes:
My firm does a very complete day. Last year we had a mock trial in which
some played roles of plaintiff etc. while attorneys acted as attorneys and
the judge. The rest of the children were divided into juries.
The trial was based on the true case of a girl who wanted to play on a
Little League team.
The kids also toured all of the departments in small groups and learned
about what we do.
In the library I created a special web page with sites of interest to kids.
Fortunately I had previous experience in school libraries.
We gave them a bookmark (with some web sites printed on them) to take home
since they couldn't view it behind our firewall (off of the premises).
With all of the information available on the Internet we didn't just
concentrate on legal sites. The EPA and White House both have portions of
their sites for kids.
Of course we did talk to them about the law books during their brief visit
to the library and how the attorneys use the library.
Hope this is useful.
