Class experience

US Grade 7 - 10
Along all six weeks, this class aims to do several things. It aims to help learners see how the law can affect societal change and to consider how societal change can affect the law. It aims to give learners an early peak into legal reasoning and to introduce them to court cases in a manageable way to provide learners the confidence to know that the law is not inaccessible and to provide learners an easy way to understand case law. It also will provide a biographical sketch and introduce learners to a giant of the American legal field, the notorious RBG. Further, learners will leave this six weeks with an understanding and knowledge of the doctrine of equal rights within our U.S. Constitution and how gender equality is looked upon by the law. Finally, the course hopes to showcase to learners that even great giants and change-makers of America were assisted by support from others and that those who came before blazed trails for them, just as they have blazed trails for us.
