Only 2 in 10 students feel truly engaged in what they’re learning.
Most say their classes don’t feel important, interesting, challenging, or connected to their natural strengths — and engagement drops even more as students move through K–12.
Gen Z is telling us exactly what they need:
- Teachers who are genuinely excited about what they teach
- Hands-on, real-world learning that feels meaningful and relevant.
Common Law Press answers that call. Instead of passive assignments, students dive into real cases, real questions, and real-world justice — the kind of learning that feels purposeful and alive.
Students analyze constitutional debates, participate in oral advocacy, and write like lawyers. They don’t just learn about the law — they experience how it works and why it matters.
The law is still being written. Students don’t only read cases written over 200 years ago — they study the cases happening right now.
By pairing foundational Supreme Court cases with modern legal questions, this curriculum shows students that law is not static or distant. It is active, contested, and shaping their daily lives.
Students deserve material that feels important, challenging, and connected to their strengths. Our curriculum transforms civics from a stale requirement into a lived experience.
Students don’t have to become lawyers to be shaped by the law. The legal system touches everything — rights, schools, speech, justice, opportunity. Understanding it empowers every future adult.
Law is life-literacy. Whether a student becomes a doctor, artist, engineer, entrepreneur, or stays undecided, knowing how our legal system works gives them agency, confidence, and a voice.
This curriculum isn’t about training lawyers — it’s about raising informed citizens. When teens understand the structures that govern them, they’re better prepared for adulthood, advocacy, and real-world decision-making.
Every student is impacted by the law; every student deserves to understand it. Common Law Press provides that foundation.
