Project History
Bringing the history and importance of the rule of law in America to the students of today is a difficult task. We must not fail to accomplish this task if our country is to successfully face the challenges of today and tomorrow. The John Marshall Foundation created its award-winning Justice in the Classroom program to enhance the teaching of history, government and civics for our children with the conviction that we must rely on the rule of law for our country to flourish.
