Institute for Political and Legal Education
- Institute for Political and Legal Education
The Institute for Political and Legal Education is an organization in which high school students are introduced to the American legislative and judicial process. Students learn about separation of power, checks and balances, limits on the powers of the executive branch, and the role of the citizen in American society. In addition students learn how those ideas have evolved over the years.
To simulate the judicial process, students or groups of students are assigned civil court cases. Students then research the topic and develop a position which they write in a paper. The actual case is simulated in a mock hearing. Students are given a set amount of time to try to convince a mock judge to agree with their position through reasoning. The judge can then ask follow-up questions with which the students clarify their position and address concerns.
