The High School Supplement goes beyond what is taught in the Student Worktext–there are the same chapter headings, but additional legal concepts are taught. Here is the Table of Contents and what content has been added:

Chapter 1: The Basics
Practice the legal vocabulary you learned with a fraud and defamation case.

Chapter 2: Biblical Foundation and Application
Delve deeper into the Biblical foundation upon which our country’s legal system was founded and apply Biblical principles to legal issues. Explore additional historical figures, the “Danbury Letters,” and additional worldview topics.

Chapter 3: Who’s Who in the Court System?
Discover the process of voir dire, our system’s process to ensure impartial jurors.

Chapter 4: Our Judicial System
Learn the different types of appeals and appellate opinions, what a writ of certiorari is, and more about the U.S. Supreme Court.

Chapter 5: Types of Cases
Explore additional concepts in criminal and civil law: mens rea and actus reus, criminal defenses and class action lawsuits—with a note about our adversarial system.

Chapter 6: Steps in a Trial or an Appellate Case
Distinguish between some types of objections that are made during trials.

    Homeschool Court helps your child discover and love the American judicial system with a curriculum that ends with a mock trial! This ready-to-use Christian mock trial curriculum for grades 4-12 is great as a stand-alone class or a comprehensive supplement for a civics, government or logic course.

    With a conversational style, this worktext walks students through the legal system from basic terminology and understanding of the participants in court to digging into criminal, civil and constitutional law. A special chapter introduces the student to legal history and explains what a biblical worldview is.

    While the curriculum is easily adapted to high school students by using the ""Digging Deeper"" activities at the end of each chapter, there is also a High School Supplement available to dig even deeper! Teacher Manuals for the Student Worktext and the High School Supplement include the student components in grayscale, along with answers and additional teaching ideas and content.

    Holding a mock trial at the end of the course (or a debate or final paper) will require a Student and Teacher Case Summary that will provide all the material you will need--from the facts of the case to the actual case outcome (for the teacher to divulge at the end). Trial and appellate cases are available.
