Justice Lee Johnson spoke to a group of 400 students in grades 7 through 12 at Rock Creek High School.
Talking to Students and Teachers about Law, Civics and the U.S. Constitution
Last year was a stellar year for KBA outreach! A renewed interest by the public for programs emphasizing civics, rights and responsibilities, and justice resulted in opportunities for KBA members to share their knowledge and passion with people throughout Kansas.
As a KBA member benefit, resources are available for speaking engagements for Law Day, Constitution Day or any time a request is made to present law-related information. The following resources are available to KBA members at no charge.
Presentations made by Attorneys and Judges
During Celebrate Freedom Week in 2013, several judges and attorneys presented to students in the USD 345, Seaman School District. The presentations were recorded and are available for KBA members to view online. The videos are intended to serve as training resources for KBA members and not for public distribution. A detailed description of each presentation and the topics covered is available. For example, in the "You be the Judge" presentation by the Hon. G. Joseph Pierron, Jr. to high school students, he covered the three branches of government, the 4th Amendment, Writ of Certiorari, reasonable suspicion, probable cause and drug testing. In another presentation for elementary students, the Hon. Cheryl R. Kingfisher included: What is the Constitution?, The Declaration of Independence, What do Judges Do?, The Boston Tea Party, Freedom of Speech, Checks and Balances, King George/George Washington, the three branches of government, a student mini trial, and courtroom protocol. Contact Anne Woods at awoods@ksbar.org for access to these videos.
