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 Laws 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 Courts opinions.  Participants will also receive an accompanying lesson plan for each DVD, designed for simple and immediate implementation in the Social Studies classroom.
