Oklahoma educators attended the 18th annual PACE Institute, funded by a grant from the Oklahoma Bar Foundation and administered by the OBA's Law-related Education program. This year's theme was "Oklahoma Centennial: A State of Many Nations." During the week participants examined the various aspects of the Oklahoma judicial system, Native American courts, citizenship education and public policy. Larry Gerston, professor of political science at San Jose State University, served as Keynote speaker for the institute's opening reception. He encouraged the teachers to be proud of the impact they have on their students. Participants also met with OBA President Stephen Beam.
