The Justice Teaching Institute is a two and a half day professional development program designed to give Wisconsin high school teachers the tools they need to effectively teach their students about the state court system and the law. Lee Arbetman, the co-author of Street Law , will be a featured presenter at the Institute, along with Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Shirley S. Abrahamson and University of Wisconsin Professor Diana Hess. Other Wisconsin Supreme Court justices may also participate, as well as attorneys, judges, and teachers from around the state. Grant funds from the State Bar will cover lodging, most meals, breaks, stipend, and limited funds for substitute teachers. This project is supported in part by the Wisconsin Humanities Council , with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Enrollment is limited.
