MHS Students Visit State House, Learn About Law

Four Medford High School students recently had the opportunity to visit the Massachusetts State House for the third annual James Otis Lecture series. The students learned about the US Constitution and law from nationally prominent scholars Professor Akhil Reed Amar, Sterling Professor of Law and Politics at Yale University Law School and Professor Michael Burlingame, Naomi Lynn Distinguished Professor of Lincoln Studies at the University of Illinois (Springfield). The students were nominated based upon their good citizenship and interest in politics, said Humanties Director Bernadette Ricciardelli.
