How can I incorporate current events into the curriculum?

Current events fit naturally into a law elective, as students learn to apply laws and the Constitution to real-world issues. Strategies include:

• Moot courts and other case studies using current Supreme Court and appellate cases
• Deliberations on current and contested issues.
• Socratic Seminars on enduring legal or ethical questions.
• Democratic simulations such as mock town council and school board meetings.
