Each year, more than 1,500 Iowa students in grades 9-12 participate in The Iowa State Bar Association Young Lawyers Division "Know Your Constitution" program, demonstrating their understanding of the United States' founding document. The students test their knowledge in a 50-question multiple choice quiz, and submit a short essay analyzing a current constitutional issue.
A Young Lawyer's Division committee grades the entries and selects winners from each of Iowa's 100 legislative districts. These students and their teacher-sponsors were invited to Des Moines for a special luncheon on Jan. 11, where five were also selected at random to participate in an all-expense-paid, week-long trip to Washington, D.C. in February, as part of the Close Up Program.
Congratulations to Dayne Bergan for being selected to attend.
The Know Your Constitution program is supported by generous grants from The Iowa State Bar Foundation, Interest on Lawyer's Trust Accounts (IOLTA), The Iowa State Bar Association and county bar associations throughout the state.
