September 30, 2009 |
C-SPAN features a new documentary about the Supreme Court along with nightly interviews with key Supreme Court experts - many of them also resource experts for Street Law's activities. We've mapped out the week's schedule and connected each night's program to key Street Law resources.
Programming occurs each evening at 9pm Eastern.
The Supreme Court: Home To America’s Highest Court, a new, original documentary. Clips and related lessons are available to teachers for free at C-SPAN Classroom (registration required).
Applications for Street Law's Supreme Court Summer Institute for Teachers (June 17-22) are now available.
Interviews with Lyle Denniston, SCOTUS blog, and Joan Biskupic, USA Today. Both Lyle and Joan have taken part in Street Law's Supreme Court programs, providing valuable insight about the Court for our teachers.
