Join the United States Courts and the Judicial Learning Center for the annual Summer Teacher Institute. The institute is your chance to get an inside look at the federal judiciary and gain valuable tools and resources to use in the classroom.

For those who have attended previously, new content and themes will be explored. Teachers will have the opportunity to observe courtroom proceedings (based on availability), meet judges, attorneys, and other key players. The topics covered will be timely and relevant and will include sessions on the anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education and the career and contributions of Justice Thurgood Marshall.

This workshop is designed for social studies teachers of U.S. Government and U.S. History, middle school through high school and including AP.

This event is completely FREE. Registration is required so that parking, meals, and materials can be provided at no cost to participants. Please register early.
