Using Trials and Law to teach K-12

Teacher Resources

Ask your teachers to find out about the "Justice tours" through the Georgia Bar Association and the Mock Trials on every grade level!  You learn critical thinking skills along with speaking, listening, reading, and writing as the judge, the prosecutor, the defense attorney, the juror--or the Defendant or Plaintiff.  The courtroom is a place to learn about life.
