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. Maryland Students will learn the basics of case briefing with two landmark cases. Day Two: Civil Rights Cases (Plessey, Dred Scott and Brown v. Board of Education) Students will case brief and discuss the history of segregation and slavery in the United States. Day Three: Juvenile Case Law What laws impact teens? Students will learn and discuss how the Courts have different standards for juveniles. Day Four: Juvenile Law Continued Students will go over several case examples and become Judges that decide if a Juvenile should be sentenced as an Adult or as a Juvenile. Day Five: Human Rights Laws In this class we will look at Human Rights cases around the globe, the Declaration of Human Rights and the US Supreme Court case United States v. Korematsu.

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. Reseñas
