This will be used in five of our county's high schools that now have law courses offered as part of the curriculum.

Fascinating...almost makes me wish I were back in high school! As one whose particular interest in the Lincoln assassination has tended to that legal theme (I'm looking at a stack of books covering this and related topics) I'd be interested in following what develops from this.

I am so glad you said that Jill because your name was one that popped into my head when our education coordinator reported back.

Gene, I just met with a gentleman from Georgetown Law regarding the military court, Dr. Mudd, etc. At one point, I made a small reference to our Attorney General (a much nicer comment that I usually make) and was cut short by the lawyer saying that, "I work for the Attorney General." End of conversation.
