In Argument Wars, your students will practice their argumentation and persuasion skills with a real case that made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. They’ll pick a side to represent, identify the Constitutional basis for the case, and dive in. The other lawyer is the competition, and whoever has the strongest arguments wins!
Argue one of these Supreme Court Cases:
Bond v. United States
Brown v. Board of Education
Gideon v. Wainwright
Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier
In Re Gault
Miranda v. Arizona
New Jersey v. T.L.O.
Snyder v. Phelps
Texas v. Johnson
While the game is based on real cases and historical arguments, it is not a reenactment. The outcome of the game is up to your student’s arguments. In the end, they will discover how the real justices voted.
