Welcome to the Lesson Library for Judges in the Classroom. This site is for judges and court coordinators, and serves as a library for lessons from the Judges in the Classroom collection. Volunteers may use them as-is, or edit to their liking. Additional resources are available to embed or include in any lesson.
Unedited, these lessons should take approximately 45-50 minutes, leaving time for Q&A. If you want to spend more time talking to the class organically, we recommend you reduce the number of slides in your final presentation.
Note: most lessons come with Speaker Notes to help guide you. They are there as suggestions, only.
Select the "Lessons" and "Resources" links at the top of this page for access.
