Jury education launches in 2012

Eight judges have joined us in classrooms across DC to lead mock trial and jury deliberations.

Our program prepares DC students to fulfill their civic obligation to serve on a jury when they turn 18.

To date, we have presented nine programs, as follows:

• November 14, 2011 - School Without Walls (Jay Brozost and Earl Silbert)
• December 6, 2011 - Cesar Chavez Public Charter School (Judge Mary Ellen Abrecht)
• December 9, 2011 - Woodrow Wilson High School (Judge Curtis von Kann)
• December 16, 2011 - Woodrow Wilson High School (Judge Arthur Burnett)
• January 9, 2012 - School Without Walls (Judge Gregory Mize)
• January 10, 2012 - Ballou High School (Judge Neal Kravitz)
• January 11, 2012 - Ballou High School (Judge Karen Howze)
• January 12, 2012 - Spingarn High School (Judge Noel Kramer)
• January 13, 2012 - Bell Multicultural High School (Judge Richard Roberts)

Expect more civics lessons in the spring semester, and even more to come in the 2012-2013 school year!
