7-12 grade Social Studies teachers will be recruited to come to Auburn, Alabama for a two-week summer institute focused on Landmark Supreme Court cases that originated in Alabama. Participants will learn from Constitutional scholars, historians, teacher educators, law librarians, and field trips the fundamental civil rights established in four cases involving right to counsel, gender equality in the workplace, freedom of association, and racial gerrymandering. Participants will experience lessons as learners on four Supreme Court cases and then work independently or collaboratively to develop lessons relevant to their own coursework on these or other Supreme Court cases.
