Discovering Justice welcomes you to use our free civic education resources to bring discussions of justice, rights, and responsibilities to your classroom. The following activities were designed to coordinate with a Discovering Justice courthouse program, but can be used on their own as well:

• The Search for Justice Scavenger Hunt (approximately 1.5 class periods): Students use school resources to answer questions about history and justice.
• Discovering Justice Through Jury Selection (approximately 1 class period): Students participate in a mock jury selection process to learn the importance of an impartial jury and the process of assembling one.
• Justice Poster (approximately 1 class period): Students work in groups to develop a poster that illustrates a symbol of justice.
• Speak Your Truth (approximately 1-3 class periods): Students analyze a famous speech about fairness and equality and use it as a model for a persuasive essay on a topic they are passionate about.
