With a new Supreme Court term underway, a new set of cases is putting important legal and constitutional questions before the Court—and giving students the opportunity to examine those questions as they unfold.
Each term, Street Law selects some of the most classroom-relevant, student-friendly cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and develops free resources to help teachers bring them into the classroom. Our SCOTUS in the Classroom materials help students understand the legal questions before the Court, examine arguments on both sides, and engage with cases in real time. Rather than learning about Supreme Court decisions only after the fact, students can follow a case from oral argument through the final decision.
Explore the SCOTUS in the Classroom cases from the October Term 2025:
- Case v. Montana
- NRSC v. FEC and DNC
- Trump v. Barbara
- Trump v. Slaughter
- Villarreal v. Texas
- Wolford v. Lopez
One of the best ways to use these resources is to conduct a moot court or mini-moot court during the same week the Supreme Court hears oral argument. Students take on the roles of attorneys and justices, analyze the legal issues, develop arguments, ask questions, and reach their own conclusions about how the case should be decided.
Teaching the case at the same time it is before the Court also gives students the opportunity to connect their classroom experience to current events. After conducting their own moot court, students can listen to or read the transcript of the real oral argument, compare the justices’ questions with their own, follow news coverage and analysis, and later revisit the case when the Court releases its decision.
Teachers do not need to conduct a full moot court to use the materials. The cases can also support class discussions, small-group analysis, writing activities, oral argument analysis, or lessons focused on constitutional principles and the role of the judiciary.
Street Law provides free guidance for teachers who want to use the moot court format, including our Classroom Guide to Moot Courts and Mini-Moot Court Demonstration Video.
New cases are added throughout the Supreme Court term, giving teachers timely opportunities to help students explore constitutional questions, evaluate competing legal arguments, and see the judicial process in action.
