Constitution Project

Students from 12 Missouri high schools, including Cor Jesu Academy in St. Louis, kicked off the 2017 Constitution Project competition Sept. 6 at the Missouri Capitol Building in Jefferson City. The students participated in two mock legislative debates — a student House debate and a student Senate debate. Approximately 250 students are expected to participate in this year's Constitution Project, which gives students a mock crime scene to investigate, report about and eventually try in a mock trial, all under the mentorship of local professionals in the fields of crime scene investigation, journalism and trial advocacy.
