Calling All Supreme Court Watchers!
Finish the school year on the right track by applying for this FREE and exciting professional development opportunity with the NC Civic Education Consortium.
1. From Kelo to Citizens United: Telling the Stories of the US Supreme Court
Deadline: April 29, 2011
Educators teaching Civics and Economics, US History or Contemporary Law & Justice are invited to join Duke University School of Law and the NC Civic Education Consortium for a unique teacher training on the Supreme Court and its role in American Society. Participants will receive a set of DVDs created by Duke Law’s Voices of American Law project, each covering a critical US Supreme Court case. These 20-minute documentaries, including interviews with the parties themselves, their lawyers, and the judges who shaped the case, expose students to the stories of the real people affected by the Court’s opinions. Participants will also receive an accompanying lesson plan for each DVD, designed for simple and immediate implementation in the Social Studies classroom.
For more information about the Voices of American Law Project, and details regarding the Supreme Court cases featured in the DVDs, go to: http://voicesofamericanlaw.org.
