Equal rights, due process, national security—the stakes are high in this Interact simulation, where students weigh in on a mock Supreme Court case and grapple with real constitutional questions. Part of the Project-Based Government series.

In Fighting Chance, students become first-year associates at a law firm asked to weigh in on a potential Supreme Court case. The issue? Whether the case stands on solid constitutional ground—or whether national security concerns outweigh individual rights.

Students analyze the case through the lens of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, considering equal protection, due process, landmark precedents, and the real-world workings of the judicial system. Along the way, they deepen their understanding of constitutional rights, the role of the courts, and the complexity of justice.

What you’ll find inside:

  • A step-by-step teaching guide
  • Teacher materials
  • Assessment tools
  • Student materials

      This simulation brings abstract legal principles into sharp focus—helping students think like lawyers, argue like advocates, and reflect on what fairness really means.
