Class Experience
US Grade 7 - 10
Recommendation: It will be helpful if students take my two hour Bill of Rights class to have familiarity with their Constitutional Amendments before taking this camp. If the student already has a good grasp on the first 10 amendments, this is not necessary. You can find the class here: https://outschool.com/classes/us-government-101-the-bill-of-rights-a-case-study-HyM2VhvE#usQCo6l1Sj Day One: Marbury v. Madison and McCullough v.

I am a retired Professor (Criminal Justice) and High School teacher. I am also a practicing attorney in New York State. I taught Advanced Placement US Government, Advanced Placement Comparative Government and traditional High School Government for over ten years. I know it is important to introduce a fact based, non biased lesson to students that will foster discussions with their family.
