‘Teach Texas' Teams Lawyers, Judges for 7th Grade Judicial Civics
Thanks to the successful Teach Texas pilot program in Houston-area schools this spring, future seventh graders in Texas will learn about the state’s court system and how the history of the courts is intertwined with the rest of Texas history. Along the way, the professional image of lawyers and judges is likely to be polished as shiny as a teacher’s apple. More than 8,700 seventh graders have been taught this spring by volunteer lawyer-judge teams in the Houston Bar Association presidential initiative.
