The teaching fellows work with teachers, administrators and lawyers to teach high school students their rights as citizens, the strategic benefits of voting, how lawmaking occurs, and other fundamental constitutional processes. High school students in the program have the opportunity to practice their oral advocacy skills in a national moot court competition. Since its inception, the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project has had chapters in twenty U.S. law schools, with 18 currently in operation. (en)
