    Teachers can become better advocates for their ELs when they are informed of their own responsibilities to federal law and Supreme Court decisions by utilizing tools provided from this course.

    Students have made inferences concerning judicial law through case studies. They have also analyzed digests of applicable federal laws and court decisions and have considered the differences between ideals and goals. They are now ready to apply their knowledge to placement decision-making processes for two young immigrant girls.
