The Missouri Bar Citizenship Education Summer Institute

This course will address three cases currently being considered by the Supreme Court. One deals with a postal worker who did not want to work on Sunday. The second is about a web designer who did not want to create a website for a same-sex couple, and the third case centers around the question of when speech becomes threatening to the extent it is not protected by the First Amendment.
Registration is open through June 14.

Street Law Professional Development Workshop:
Federal Courts and the Equal Protection Clause
March 2, 2023
High school social studies teachers (public, private and parochial) are invited to attend this workshop, focused on the federal court system, foundational constitutional concepts, and engaging current issues!
The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees Americans equal protection of the laws. But what exactly does “equal protection” mean? Explore this important question with legal experts from the federal courts, participate in case study activities, and apply what you have learned in a moot court of a case currently before the U.S. Supreme Court, Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina.
Registration is now open and will close on February 1, 2023.
You will be notified of acceptance by Feb 6.
NOTE that registration does not mean acceptance.
