Legislators are constantly communicating and making decisions while in session and\u00a0pages\u00a0make that communication possible.\u00a0Pages\u00a0hand out information packets\u00a0or place the paper information on their desks.\u00a0Pages\u00a0will also run communication and documents directly from legislator to legislator. It&#8217;s fast paced and pages will be moving around the chambers quite a bit, taking direction from the Clerks. We will meet at 8:30 for pictures and an orientation. Then at 9:00am we will divide our group with one going to the House and the other to the Senate where each group will receive their instructions. Session will begin by 10:00am and will likely conclude around 12:30pm, but the timing is never certain. Lunch will be on your own.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NEW:<\/span><b> First Amendment Museum- Supreme Court in Action!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The Museum will host our group from 1:30-3:30pm with a free interactive learning series that places each of us into different roles within the U.S. Supreme Court.
