Judges' Simulated Congressional Hearing Resources

On behalf of the Center for Civic Education, I would like to thank you for volunteering to serve as a judge at a We the People hearing or competition. To a large extent the quality of a simulated congressional hearing is based upon the expertise and demeanor of the judges. Whether this is your first time judging a hearing or you have participated in the past, please review the We the People textbook(s) and resources listed below. To suit local needs the We the People program allows for variations in hearing implementation at the school, congressional district, state and national levels. Therefore, procedures may differ slightly depending upon the geographic and grade levels. Consult your We the People State Coordinator for local procedures.
