Wishek Juniors and Seniors Visit Supreme Court Wednesday, March 5, 2025

Led by Mr. Colin Crabtree, over 20 Junior and Senior students from Wishek visited the supreme court on March 5th. Law clerks visited with students about the work that they do at the supreme court, the education one needs to become a lawyer, and different types of cases handled at the supreme court, among other topics.

In the 2024-2025 school year, over 400 students, so far, have visited the supreme court, as well as the legislative and executive branches of government, and learned about the structure and function of state government. Visiting teachers are provided a resource packet from the court, and students receive a copy of 'Living in an Adult World,' a free publication from the State Bar Association of North Dakota, which provides an overview for students of their legal rights and responsibilities as they reach adulthood.
