Public legal education, sometimes called civics education, comprises a range of activities intended to build public awareness and skills related to law and the justice system.

The term "public legal education" (PLE) is related to, and may encompass, several similar terms.The terms "public legal information" and "public legal education and information" (PLEI) emphasize a difference between educating and providing information.The term "community legal education"is common in Australia and the United States, where it often refers to community-based public legal education activities led by legal aid organizations. The term "law-related education" (LRE) usually refers to public legal education in primary and secondary schools (and sometimes in higher education) as opposed to PLE for adults and outside of school.
