McDonogh Supreme Court in Session

The “McDonogh Supreme Court” was called to order on Friday, April 26 in the Upper School Library, and students in Jeff Sanborn’s AP Government class presented two cases currently pending in the Supreme Court on Constitutional rights associated with non-traditional marriages. Student lawyers argued both sides of Hollingsworth versus Perry and United States versus Windsor before a panel of student and teacher judges headed by The Honorable Fred Smalkin '64. The justices fired back with intense questions, but the petitioners and respondents were well prepared and offered thoughtful responses.
