ACE is co-sponsored by the Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Teach Democracy (formerly Constitutional Rights Foundation) and the Los Angeles County Bar Association's Appellate Courts Committee.

The ACE program has helped educate thousands of students about the appellate courts since it first launched in 2005. The program begins with a classroom curriculum administered by appellate attorneys, followed by a visit to the Court of Appeal to observe oral argument for the case previously studied in the classroom. After oral argument, the students are introduced to the appellate court process first-hand with an opportunity to interact with the attorneys arguing the case and the panel of justices who will be reviewing it.
