The Grand Jury Explained

This podcast is created to provide additional information and commentary to the Street and Practical Law classes that I teach at Leominster High School located in Leominster, Massachusetts. It compliments the purpose of these classes "...to empower young people to be active, engaged citizens by equipping them with the knowledge and skills they need to successfully participate and create change in their communities." It is based on the foundations of our democratic Republic: the Constitution, natural law and freedom.
