Lesson Planet Curated

Walk students step-by-step through the judicial process with a three-lesson collection that examines how the federal courts interpret and apply the laws of the United States. Young legal scholars examine case studies, engage in WebQuest-style activities, and consider whether a case belongs in federal or state courts as they critique a system designed to provide justice for all.
