Law Related Education

Welcome!

Marsha Varvil-Weld

Help strengthen our citizens and the state we live in through developing interest, understanding, and appreciation of the legal system. The State Bar of Wisconsin’s Law-related education programs promote awareness of the law and citizenship through interactive educational experiences.

We are dedicated to educating and developing active citizens who understand their rights and how they can make a difference in their communities. Take advantage of the many fun, interactive law-related and civics education programs, free resources and publications, and volunteer opportunities for lawyers, judges, and members of the public. Feel free to contact me with any comments or concerns.

Court with Class – This program gives you the opportunity to take your classroom to visit the Wisconsin Supreme Court, watch an oral argument, and meet with one of the justices.

Judicial Teaching Institute – Walk away with teaching resources you can use immediately when you attend this institute about the court system. Learn firsthand from Wisconsin justices and judges, including Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson.

Wisconsin High School Mock Trial Tournament – Bring the legal system to life for high school students. Teachers and students work with attorneys to research, prepare, and argue a case in front of judges.

Judicial Teaching Institute: "Due to time constraints, the Wisconsin judicial system gets slighted. I now have a thorough understanding of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and I will definitely place more emphasis on it." - Nathan Vance, Oak Creek High School
