Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye hosted students and educators during two virtual events in April celebrating this year's Champions of Civics and recipients of the annual Civic Learning Award.

A state Supreme Court committee issued advice for judges using social media to make statements about the law, the legal system, or the administration of justice.      

A total of 32 California schools are named this year's recipients of the Civic Learning Awards, an honor which recognizes achievements in civic engagement in the classroom. This year, the awards program put emphasis on school-based efforts that went uninterrupted despite the pandemic.

Three teachers, a community organizer, and a school district superintendent are among the Champions of Civics being honored with a 2021 Civic Learning Award.

This year's Civic Learning Awards were adapted to celebrate people and programs successful in engaging students in civic learning, particularly those not putting civics aside during the pandemic.
