Judge Kobayashi gave our students a lesson on the Federal Court system and let the students roam the courtroom freely and even let them sit in her chair!
In Judge Seabright's courtroom we saw a short case from beginning to end with a defendant who was found guilty of drug charges. The students got to see the defendant enter the courtroom, hear both attorneys speak, the defendant speak and the Judge give his ruling.
After the case the Judge and both attorneys sat with us and answered questions the students had about what they saw. There were a lot of questions and a lot was learned!
Thank you to Mr. Stephen Pingree who set up this amazing experience for our students and to Mr. Wong who attended the field trip with us!
