Cartoons do more than provide amusement—they make us think about the issues that surround us in everyday life. Feel free to peruse the gallery for a laugh or two, or use the questions we've provided to expand your thinking about specific issues involving the law and legal system.
The cartoons in this gallery cover the following topics:
- Constitutional Rights
- Immigration Law
- International Law and Politics
- Judges and the Bench
- Law and Culture
- Law Enforcement
- Voting Law
If you would like to select from a wide variety of cartoons to support instruction in social studies and other subject areas, make sure to visit Cartoons. Some of these Web sites include lesson plans, and you will also find instructions for obtaining permission to use these online cartoons in your classroom.
If you need permission to use a cartoon or other proprietary material that you’ve found in another source, but don’t know where to start, follow the instructions in the American Bar Assocation’s Copyright and Contracts: A Sampler. The forms you will need are included, along with complete instructions.
