Amy Prueger joins fellow attorneys to teach seventh-grade students about the Texas court system

Enoch Kever Member Amy Prueger, working with the AYLA’s Law-Related Education Committee and fellow presenters Justice Brett Busby, Armin Salek, and Samantha McCoy, presented a lesson to students at Covington Middle School on the structure of Texas courts.

The curriculum is based on three books on judicial civics and court history that were prepared by the Texas Supreme Court Historical Society: Taming Texas: How Law and Order Came to the Lone Star State, Law and the Texas Frontier, and The Chief Justices of Texas. Authors Jim Haley and Marilyn Duncan wrote these books especially for seventh-grade Texas history and social studies students to educate them on the importance of the third branch of government. The lessons are based on stories and illustrations from the books, which are the first of their kind in the country.
