Welcome!
California Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero's Power of Democracy Civic Learning Initiative aims to deliver quality civics to K-12 classrooms. By connecting students directly with judges, the foundations of the judicial system are brought to life through engaging, real-world interactions.  Together, we are empowering educators and inspiring the next generation of active, informed citizens.
