This class is an introduction into the American legal system, the power of justice, and the importance of the rule of law. Engaging activities will expose students to legal analysis, negotiation, cross examination, research, and simulated and actual trials. From riveting courtroom dramas to decoding the Constitution, get ready for an adventure that will both educate and entertain. Learn basic legal concepts related to procedural law and improve your legal vocabulary while reviewing landmark cases and fascinating stories that have shaped the legal landscape. Students will develop critical-thinking skills as we review high-interest cases from today’s headlines and learn to understand the role of law in society, politics, and international relations. Students will have the opportunity to meet with law students as well as seasoned law professionals including trial attorneys, judges, professors, and the Dean of Admissions of Georgetown Law School. As an added bonus, students will have access to visit an on-going trial.
