All K-12 educators in the state are encouraged to apply and take an impactful field trip to learn more about the history of Oklahoma, made accessible through the Oklahoma Transportation Grant.

The Oklahoma City Chapter of the Federal Bar Association and the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum are partnering to offer a High School program with unique experiences at the Memorial and the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma. The program will be held July 18 - 22 and the goal of the program is to help students better understand the federal court system and their own roles in conflict resolution outside of the court system.
During the week, the students will meet with federal judges, law clerks, assistant U.S. attorneys, assistant federal public defenders, law students, and members of law enforcement. Students will participate in a simulated dispute resolution involving freedom of speech in a high school setting, watch court proceedings, attend a Naturalization Ceremony, and have opportunities to meet and ask questions of those who work in the federal courts.
The program will run from approximately 9:00 a.m. until 4:00pm, but will conclude by 1:00pm on Friday. Participants must be able to provide their own transportation and must be able to attend each session. Lunch and parking will be provided free of charge. Send the names, email addresses and phone numbers of interested high school students to Ann Baskin at ann_baskin@okwd.uscourts.gov by May 31, 2022. Additional paperwork will be sent to students after the roster is finalized.
