Anna Sperfslage, Madelyn Reiter, Ana Cortes, Anna Knepper, Eva Rahe, Luke Wessesl, Marie Grebner, and Alexie Hogan of Beckman Catholic High School are finalists in The Iowa State Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Division “Know Your Constitution” Project. 65 finalists were selected from the more than 500 students across the State of Iowa who participated in the “Know Your Constitution” Project. These finalists will be honored at an Awards Luncheon in Des Moines on January 24, 2025.
From the finalists, five students and their teachers will be chosen randomly to receive scholarship grants and honoraria in recognition of their efforts.
The “Know Your Constitution” Project is designed to enrich students’ understanding and appreciation of the Constitution. The students participating in the project were required to familiarize themselves with Constitution-related issues. Each participating student completed a quiz, and an essay question accompanied the quiz. This year’s essay topic involved Constitutional questions concerning the right to a person’s DNA and subsequent general DNA database search. The question is modeled after recent Iowa State Supreme Court Case State v. Burns 988 n.w.2d 352(2023). “Best Essay” finalists will be posted to the ISBA website (Know Your Constitution Program (iowabar.org)), with an overall winner announced during the Awards program.
The Know Your Constitution program is sponsored by The Iowa State Bar Association, with additional funding from the Iowa State Bar Foundation and IOLTA.
