This summer, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee will co-sponsor and host "The Supreme Court and My Hometown," a civic education program for high school students. This immersive, two-week day camp is available to rising 10th, 11th or 12th grade students who reside within driving distance of the federal courthouse in Chattanooga. Students participating in the Chattanooga program will learn about the historic Ed Johnson case and the 1909 Supreme Court case of United States v. Shipp. Participants will learn directly from sitting judges, legal scholars and historians. For more information about the program, visit the Supreme Court Historical Society's website. Applications are due by April 24 and must be submitted online.
