Each club plans individual activities for their members. By traveling to Annapolis when the legislative session is held, students receive first hand experience about Maryland's governmental system. Junior and Senior students are chosen from an application process. During the 90 day legislative session, a different group of students attends each week. The Interns meet at the beginning of their week session and then spend each day watching House and Senate assemblies and various committee groups.
Interns observe how bills are passed or vetoed and learn how the bills are argued in committees.
A collection of poems, essays, and short fiction written by the students and faculty members, is published annually. Assuming the roles of lawyers and witnesses in court cases, students spend months preparing for the competition. As lawyers, they write their opening statements and questions while the students who are witnesses immerse themselves in the role of their characters. The cases are then presented before a real judge who deter- mines which team has presented the strongest argument. The O.A.S. meets to foster peace, economics development, cooperation, and understanding among all peoples of the Americas.
