Teachers in the Courts
Federal judges from Los Angeles to Tampa host teachers every year for interactive, courtroom-based learning experiences in the law. Courts involve teachers in true-to-life trial simulations that are ready for immediate use in classrooms and courtrooms. Here, volunteer attorneys prepare teachers for a “trial” presided over by a federal judge during a program held this year at the U.S. District for the District of Columbia.
