A group of Pennsbury High School students heard from a former federal prosecutor and cable news legal analyst last month.

On December 22, students in teacher Angela Minorโ€™s AP American Government and Politics class heard from Elie Honig, former New Jersey and federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York and on-air legal analyst for CNN. The virtual visit was part of the class’ lesson on the federal judiciary.

โ€œMr. Honig discussed his experiences while serving as a prosecutor and then reviewed the organization and jurisdiction of the courts and ways to reduce the politics of the judiciary,โ€ said Minor. โ€œMr. Honig was impressed by both the questions the students asked and those they were able to answer.โ€

In a tweet, Honig said it was a “wildly impressive class with college-level skills.”

Minor connected with Honig after he posted on Twitter where he was offering some time to talk with students.
