Justice by the people

A Civics, History, and
Language Arts Program

Play Make Your Case!

Think your students have the Seventh Amendment down? Then it’s time for them to play Make Your Case. Students can take part in this courtroom trial simulation and learn the importance of the right to a trial by jury.

Students will play the role of an attorney in a civil case against one of their classmates. They can also play as teams.

Students should bring their best game, because we’re keeping score. Each student or team of students will score points for asking witnesses the correct question or making the right objection.
