Hey guys, guess what our class did last Wednesday? We got to
argue Supreme Court cases! Mrs. Drendall’s husband, Mr. Drendall, came in to
act as the Chief Justice, while four fellow students, Lua Derakhshani-Stockman,
Josephine Barber, Emilee Ludwick, and Phillip Yang got to act as associate
judges. The cases argued were New Jersey v. T.L.O. and Wisconsin v. Yoder.
The class was divided into four groups, with two groups to a
case. Each group presented excellent arguments and it was tough for the
justices to decide on a final verdict. In the end, though, New Jersey and Yoder
won their cases. Overall, the experience taught us all about the court system
and how the Supreme Court works. Thanks to Mr. Kelly and Mr. Feferman for
coordinating the whole activity and ensuring that we would be prepared for it.
Also, a special thanks to Mr. Drendall for reserving time in his busy schedule
to come in and assist us. Thank you!!!
