Law Squad was started in 2001 to address a growing concern among  parents of teenagers regarding the legal consequences of teen conduct.  More and more, teenagers are finding themselves getting arrested and their parents being sued for common problems like fights in schools, driving with a junior license, car accidents and sexual activity. The laws are getting more restrictive and the punishments are getting stricter.   Parents and teens are unsure of the ramifications of certain conduct and unfamiliar with the legal system. 

         In 2004, due to the increased concerns surrounding the junior and senior prom, several area high schools began making attendance at a Law Squad “Prom Issues” seminar mandatory for parents of kids who were going to be attending prom – the students can not  receive a prom ticket without providing proof that their parent had attended one of our seminars.  Schools have reported a marked decrease in problems with pre-prom and post-prom parties since adopting this requirement.           

         In 2005, the growing popularity and recognized effectiveness of the Law Squad Program caused a tremendous increase in the number of high schools holding seminars.  Several schools have us come out more than once a year.  2005 also brought the start of “The Law Squad” television program on North Hempstead Television.  The show, hosted by Law Squad founder Oscar Michelen, is aired on Cablevision channel 18 or 20 and is broadcast into all homes within the Town of North Hempstead and parts of The City of Glen Cove.  For show times and topics, go to the “Schedule of Events” page.

         The Law Squad continued its expansion and diversification in 2006, with the addition of a seminar geared especially to the students which is presented during the day in various formats.  The seminar can include a short quiz “The Constitution and You” and can be attend by Junior and Senior students.       

         The Law Squad does not charge for its seminars – they are completely free.
