The Harlan Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is "to bring a stylized law school experience into the high school classroom to ensure that our next generation of leaders has a proper understanding of our most fundamental laws."[3][4] The primary focus of the Harlan Institute is on the study of the Supreme Court of the United States and on constitutional law.

The Institute's primary means of supplying legal education to a high school audience is through FantasySCOTUS, a program devoted to giving high schoolers a free way to predict "real cases that the students will read in the news."[5] The Institute was co-founded by Josh Blackman[1] and Yaakov Roth,[2] and Blackman is currently president of its board of directors.[1]

The Harlan Institute is a partner of iCivics, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's civics-initiative.[6]

FantasySCOTUS has been received well in the media, with reports in outlets such as the New York Times, the National Law Journal, the Roanoke Times, and CNN, among others. The program has been called "the hottest new fantasy-league game,"[7] and an "interactive hands-on nationwide competition."[8]
