At Utah Law-Related Education, our civic education initiatives equip students with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to think critically, engage thoughtfully, and participate meaningfully in public life.

Our work is centered on three primary areas. We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution engages students in an inquiry-based study of constitutional principles, culminating in simulated congressional hearings that build critical thinking, evidence-based argumentation, and civil discourse. Civic Discovery offers selected classrooms an experiential field learning opportunity at places where civics happens—such as courts, government institutions, and civic organizations—connecting classroom learning to real-world systems. We also provide professional learning for educators, including standards-aligned training, classroom-ready resources, and USBE licensure credit as an approved provider, in partnership with schools, universities, and civic organizations across Utah.
