Projects like the Supreme Court Summer Institute for Teachers, the Society's annual lecture series, and even this website would be impossible to undertake without private support. Such support made it possible for the Society to launch a special training initiative for high school teachers in the District of Columbia Public Schools. Located on the Learning Center tab of our site we now have a special "landmark cases" section featuring extensive information suitable for teachers and students on many of the Supreme Court cases selected by the states for inclusion in standards for teaching history and/or government. Private support made these initiatives possible.
