Enhancing Teaching through Lesson Plans and Videos

Justice in the Classroom is a series of educational programs designed to enhance the teaching of civics, history, and government for our nation's children and people everywhere. Currently there are four sections available with Virginia Standards of Learning [SOL] lesson plans attached:

• Justice in the Classroom – Determined
• Justice in the Classroom - Rule of Law and John Marshall
• Justice in the Classroom - The Rule of Law
• Justice in the Classroom - Judicial Systems - Federal and Virginia

What Our Lessons Teach

The videos and lesson plans teach how our fledgling democracy in the United States was floundering and nearly failed before John Marshall took on the daunting task of defining what the Constitution, and the judiciary, meant. Justice in the Classroom tells the intriguing story of the acceptance of the rule of law to assure the success of the Constitution and our liberties.
