Teachers Justice Academy

MIED’s Civics Initiative hosted its inaugural Student Justice Workshop on October 20, 2026, followed by our Teachers’ Justice Academy on October 29, 2026.

The Student Justice Workshop program was spearheaded by U.S. District Judge Brandy McMillion and the Civics Initiative’s Student Justice Workshop subcommittee. We welcomed 37 student participants from Troy High School and Troy Athens High School. The students asked some of the most thoughtful, empathetic, and inquisitive questions, which impressed many of the adults in the room and gave us even more confidence that the future of the legal profession is in great hands.
