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
