To provide a law related education program that promotes democratic engagement, constitutional literacy, and legal advocacy by placing talented upper-level law students in high schools to teach yearlong courses in constitutional law and oral advocacy.
As described in our organization's goals, the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project provides an opportuinty for law students to develop foundational lawyering and professionalism skills by equipping them to address the well-documented constitutional illiteracy and civic disengagement of America's high school students. Fellows train in inquiry-based educational methods to support their high school students in developing 21st Century skill sets of creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and critical thinking, and these same methods help law students on their lifeline journey to learn the contours of the law. Law students also have the deeply rewarding experience of bettering their community and learning to listen to peoples' needs, which also allows them to accumulate pro bono hours.
