Interested in spending time talking about the Constitution with bright, informed high school students?  Volunteer to judge "We the People."  Pictured is last year's state champion team, Milford High School.

Bar members are needed to serve one morning or afternoon (or both) as a judge for the New Hampshire Bar’s 2005 “We the People...The Citizen and the Constitution” competition. The district level competition will be held Friday, Dec. 9 (snow date: 12/12), and the state finals will be held on Friday, Jan. 13 (snow date: 1/16). The competition is held in morning and afternoon sessions at the Legislative Office Building in Concord.

“We the People” is an instructional program with the main goal of promoting civic responsibility and competence in young people. Teachers and students work together to learn the history and principles of the Constitution. The culmination of their study is the simulated congressional hearing (the competition).

Look for a volunteer form at www.nhbar.org under For the Public/ Law Related Education.  Please return the form to Valenda Morrissette, LRE Coordinator, either by mail to the NHBA, 112 Pleasant Street, Concord, NH 03301 or by fax to 603/224-2910.

You may also call Valenda at 603/224-6942 or email her at vmorrissette@nhbar.org for further information or to volunteer.

The program is supported in part by grants from the federally funded Center for Civic Education and the NH Bar Foundation.
