Course Description

The United States Supreme Court decides cases that affect us all but few people understand how the Court operates or how these decisions are implemented. This course will examine some of the most significant Supreme Court decisions covering K-12 public education and look at how the Court’s decisions help shape education policy. Students will have the opportunity to conduct a policy review of their own high school’s student handbook. Students will also participate in simulated Supreme Court oral argument based on a current education case.
