The Supreme Court Historical Society was founded in 1974 to improve public understanding of the Court, the Constitution and the Judiciary. We work daily to find new and different ways to further our important mission. 

In January 2022 the Supreme Court Historical Society launched a new lecture series focused on Civics and American Democracy. The virtual lectures featuring leading experts focused on the dangers of foreign disinformation campaigns and the importance of an independent federal judiciary.

Civics and American Democracy: A Conversation with Judge Thomas Griffith

Civics and American Democracy: Independent Judicial Systems Under Stress

Civics and American Democracy Series with Suzanne Spaulding

To complement these lectures and to make them accessible in the classroom for high school students, the Society has developed two lesson plans that are now available. Please visit them and share with the educators in your life.

The Society relies on donations to make our educational outreach efforts possible. 

Please consider making a donation today so we can continue our work.

With thanks for your support,
