The Supreme Court Seminar for DC area teachers involved educators from the District of Columbia as well as five suburban counties in Maryland and Virginia. The first component of this program, the three day seminar in July on the Court and its cases, is followed by teacher roundtable discussions in the fall and a day at the Court to hear oral arguments in the winter. A June 2007, reception at the Court will wrap up the program.
