If teaching about the judicial branch of government is part of your curriculum, then this FREE workshop is for you. Join the United States Courts and the Judicial Learning Center for a full-day of learning at the federal courthouse. Nothing can better prepare you to teach about the Constitution and American Government than seeing and experiencing it in action. This workshop will include a live courtroom observation and several sessions with judges and other legal professionals. Participants will take home a wealth of ideas, resources, and lessons. Participants will also learn about how to plan a courthouse field trip and to apply for a bus transportation grant. This event is designed for high school and middle school social studies teachers.

This event is FREE, but a registration is required so that complimentary parking and materials can be provided. Register any time, but please no later than June 28.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: by Friday June 28
