MIDDLE SCHOOL

DELREC will bring pizza and a panel of diverse attorneys, working in a variety of fields to meet your students. We can work around your schedule and come directly to your classroom!

Students create appellate arguments based on a case out of Europe challenging a police officer’s use of force as a violation of human dignity. Students read, analyze, and synthesize a law, create arguments, and find evidence to support them. Then they practice oral argumentation, all with the help of attorneys in small groups. 

Have students who like to perform? DELREC will help facilitate a Mock Trial in your classroom! Regardless of the topic, they will learn critical thinking, analysis, synthesis, and argumentation skills. Want to do a mock trial camp over the summer? Just ask us!

And if students want more, HERE is a curriculum to start an informal Mock Trial Club!

We had an incredible 19 students intern for the summer of 2024. Look out in March 2025 for next year's application! 

DELREC will provide an attorney to facilitate and guide students through a structured debate. Topics are simple, such as Eagles vs. Phillies or Mountains vs. Beach, but students will learn how to structure an argument, back it up with evidence, take notes, and format responses- all skills necessary for participation in our democracy!

DELREC can facilitate group connections with the lawyers of a firm.

 Examining the rights set forth in the 1st Amendment and utilizing primary sources related to the topics of immigration, voting rights, desegregation, and eminent domain, students will explore the ways in which Delaware citizens have been active participants
