The Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals sponsors an annual Civics Contest for high school students. This
year’s is topic is “Not to Be Forgotten: Legal Lessons of the Japanese Internment.”
Students can write a short essay (500-1000 words), or make a short video (3-5
minutes), or do both. Entries accepted starting February 1, and there are
cash prizes for the contest winners—in the Central District of California at
both the District- and Circuit-wide level. The Central District is also
offering incentives for teachers if they have the most qualifying student
entries or a winner among their students. You can find more information here:
This is a worthwhile contest
about an important part of our history that resonates today.
