Identify officials from the legislative, executive and judicial branches of local, state and federal government Invite either a single guest or a group that can be moderated by a bar leader. Ask them to share critical perspectives on how the freedoms, rights, and procedures grounded in the U.S. Constitution are applied in everyday life. Suggested Speakers Include: State or local bar association representatives Specialty and/or minority bar association representatives Judges General counsels of corporations in your area Representatives from the ACLU and other law-related civic organizations Lawyers living or practicing in your community Law professors Law students If you are the law leader and are looking for teenagers to meet with, try your local junior or senior high school, your local scout troop, or your church or synagogue's youth group. You can meet at a local school, in a community center, or in your office (tailor the numbers to suit your situation). The meeting can be as simple or elaborate as you prefer.
