X-WR-CALDESC:Equal Justice Under Law is designed to enhance students' under
 standing of an authentic U.S. Supreme Court case and a related constitutio
 nal issue. In their classes\, students examine the facts of the case\, rev
 iew the constitutional issue\, consider the arguments they find persuasive
 \, and develop their own positions using curriculum materials developed by
  the Constitutional Democracy Project.\n\nAfter learning about the case in
  their classrooms\, students come together to deliberate on the constituti
 onal issue and advocate for their positions with peers from a variety of s
 chool settings. At the student-led conference\, they engage in discussion 
 and deliberation with other students\, legal experts\, and policymakers as
  they consider how the Constitution should be applied to the case.\n\nThis
  year's case is Jouppi v. Alaska\, a case now before the United States Sup
 reme Court involving the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against excessive 
 fines. More than a decade ago\, Kenneth Jouppi was convicted of knowingly 
 transporting alcohol into a “dry” Alaska village. He was sentenced to thre
 e days in prison and a $1\,500 fine\, but the State of Alaska also sought 
 to forfeit his airplane. The case raises an important constitutional quest
 ion: When does punishment become excessive?\n\nThrough the Equal Justice U
 nder Law program\, students will investigate the facts\, examine the Eight
 h Amendment\, weigh competing constitutional arguments\, develop and advoc
 ate for their own positions\, and consider what the Supreme Court should d
 ecide.\n\nRegistration is $150 per school. Individuals can register indepe
 ndently for $15. Schools can be invoiced\, or a direct payment link can be
  sent after registration. Individuals will be sent a direct link for payme
 nt upon registration.
