We believe legal and civic education should come from students' own voices. If you have something to say, we want to hear it.

What we're looking for

We welcome submissions from high school students with an interest in law, politics, civil rights, or journalism. No legal background required — just clarity, accuracy, and passion.

Types of pieces we’re especially interested in:

  • Legal explainers written in plain English
  • Case breakdowns (current or historical)
  • Opinion pieces on civic issues (nonpartisan)
  • School-based legal experiences or perspectives
  • Youth rights guides
  • State-specific policy news for students
