The Federal Bar Association created its national civics outreach program to help educate students about our court systems. Judges and attorneys visit classrooms and talk with students, and students have the opportunity to visit courthouses to observe proceedings and meet with lawyers and judges.
Joining us to discuss civics education is Federal Bar AssociationNational President Kip Bollin; United States Magistrate Judge for the Southern District of Ohio and past Federal Bar Association President, the Hon. Michael J. Newman; Randy Sentman, a Social Studies teacher at Tippecanoe High Schoolin Tipp City, Ohio; and United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio as the Career Law Clerk Michael Rhinehart.
For teachers who would like to participate in the civics project, please call Michael Rhinehart at 937-512-1640.
