Class

Civics & Law

A civics and law course where students track how public decisions move from proposal to debate, drafts, votes, and real civic process.

This class

  • Students use self-paced work to learn civic vocabulary, bill structure, government roles, and legal process
  • Weekly live online events build on that work with discussion, bill tracking, debate, and student-legislature-style activities
  • The course may use Utah state government as a practical example while keeping the civic ideas broader
  • Students may compare bill drafts, watch live or recorded legislative process, and follow how decisions actually move

What families should know

  • The class is about process, structure, civic literacy, and public reasoning rather than partisan persuasion
  • Examples and state-focused materials vary by session and are shared before kickoff
  • Students should expect discussion, analysis, and some work with public documents or official summaries
  • No prior civics background is required unless a future session says otherwise
