This lesson is designed to introduce students in CTS Legal Studies to the Canadian judicial system, how it works, and the various ways in which students may be required to participate in the judicial system at some point in their lives.
Students will watch a short series of videos which will introduce students to the various courts, what types of cases are heard where, and the judicial process. Students will then apply what they learn to a series of scenarios.
A thorough answer key for teachers, as well as a suggested marking rubric are included.
