An Overview of the Process
You will be split into groups. Each group will form their own Supreme Court and will elect a Chief Justice. Your group will then be assigned a case for review and analysis. In order to successfully complete this assignment, you will need to know the Constitution inside and out, as the current Justices do. They are Constitutional EXPERTS. You will especially want to understand the roles of each branch of government, the structure of the Constitution, the system of Federalism, Checks & Balances, Separation of Powers, and the Bill of Rights and remaining amendments.
