The Legacy of John Adams: From Boston to Guantanamo

This project is endorsed by the Law, Youth and Citizenship Program at the New York State Bar Association

Throughout the history of the United States, and specifically in the state of New York, men and women have found the strength to challenge popular opinion and take a stand for the greater good. These features will highlight a few of those brave men and women.

We hope this series educates you about a part of New York’s role in our legal history. This series is intended to prompt discussion and exploration of the historical and contemporary role of lawyers in defending the rights of the accused, and renew appreciation for the fundamental principle of the rule of law and the critical role of informed, engaged citizens.

The materials highlight 5 specific cases, 4 of them originating in New York. The links to the right bring up PDF files with the newspaper features and corresponding student worksheet(s) for the case listed.

To download the complete series, all 5 features and worksheet packet including a list of additional internet resources, use the links below:

A note of thanks goes out to David Scott, Esq. from Northport-East Northport UFSD, Richard Bader, Esq. from the New Visions Law & Government program, Sandra Cook, NC Press Foundation and a NC lawyer for advice and guidance in the development of these materials.
