Welcome
Justice Sandra Day O’Connor
Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, noted
for being the first woman on the US
Supreme Court, is actively involved
in the challenging task of reviving
civics within our schools. In 2006,
Justice O’Connor founded the
iCivics program to promote civic
learning. The iCivics website con-tains
free lesson plans, games, and
interactive modules that engage the
student both inside and outside the
classroom.
Polls show the average citizen lacks
basic knowledge regarding the three
branches of government, democracy,
and the US Constitution. This trend
is a major concern to Justice
O’Connor and civic leaders across
the nation. The OBA wholeheartedly
supports Justice O’Connor in her
endeavor to advance citizenship education in our nation.
April 24, 2012, the Oklahoma Bar Association and Oklahoma City Univer-sity
will proudly host Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. This event will kick off
OCU’s civic learning partnership with Oklahoma educators.
10:00 am-11:30 am, Oklahoma Bar Association, Oklahoma City
Attendees will enjoy a conversation with Justice O’Connor and Oklahoma
Supreme Court Chief Justice Steven Taylor. Justice O’Connor will dedi-cate
a segment toward answering student questions. Schools are invited
to submit the two best questions from your students. Selected questions
will be presented to Justice O’Connor for her response. For consideration
questions must be submitted by April 4, 2012. This session will be avail-able
