Recognizing the importance of civics education, the Pennsylvania Courts recently launched an educational digital toolkit aimed at helping students learn about the work and role of the state’s judiciary. 

The infographic below highlights some of the key elements offered in the toolkit – including several digital handouts and animated videos on a variety of court-related topics, 3D courtrooms tours with interactive educational touchpoints, and activities for younger students such as the Flat Judge project.
