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
