Senator Richard Devlin (pictured) was one of three dozen judges, joined by many other volunteers who helped the staff of Civics Learning Project make the evening a success.

Congratulations to all the students, teachers, coaches, and parents who put in countless hours preparing for this event. The knowledge and understanding of our Constitution that these teams demonstrated should give us all hope for the future.

The State competition will be held on Saturday, January 14, at the Hatfield Courthouse in Portland and is open to the public.
