Courts offer some of the coolest web surfing kids can find.
Using the web can make the legal culture of seemingly exotic, faraway governments come alive. This electronic brochure is a guide to learning about law using the resources that courts and legislatures have placed online. On the Internet there are a wide variety of sources concerning how courts work, explanations of how laws are made and the differences between democracies of other nations. Streaming media technology allows kids to listen to Thurgood Marshall make his case in Brown v. Board of Education, which ended lawful segregation in public schools, and other landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Finally, there is a bounty of Spanish-language resources available.
