Mock Hearing Before the Supreme Court

Mock Hearing Before The U.S. Supreme Court: A Debate on Privacy in School is part of a series of lesson plans from the ACLU of Maine, intended for high school students, about constitutional rights. After a teacher explains the 4th amendment (searches and seizures), students form a “Supreme Court” and debate an actual past SCOTUS case. The case deals with searching students’ belongings, but could be used to explain protection against unlawful search more generally (i.e., stopped by officers on the street).
