The Ohio Center for Law-Related Education (OCLRE) is a non-profit organization that aims to engage Ohio students "in learning about government, law, and the importance of active citizenship."[1] The organization is headquartered out of the Ohio State Bar Association in Columbus, Ohio. It was founded in 1983[2] and reported a staff of six employees in 2019.[3]

The OCLRE runs a number of programs, including high school moot court and mock trial,[4][5][6] each of which has been broadcast live by the Ohio Channel.[7][8] The organization has also hosted conferences for teachers[9] and a "citizenship camp" for middle school students.[10] Other programs have included a youth summit and a law and citizenship academy.[11]

The organization is funded by the Ohio State Bar Association, the Ohio Attorney General's Office, the Supreme Court of Ohio, and the ACLU of Ohio,[12] as well as by corporate sponsors and private donors.[13] In 1987, the organization received a grant of nearly $80,000 from the U.S. Department of Education for its mock trial program.[14]
