Due Process - Search and Seizure

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Help your 11th and 12th graders gain a deeper understanding of Supreme Court decisions and law. The activities include role-play, research, and script writing that all focus on search and seizure laws pertaining to one particular case study. This is a great idea, but you'll need to do some research to pull it all together.
