Come join us in observing court, meeting a judge, learning from a Assistant US Attorney and the Eastern District Federal Defender and then a lively show and tell with a Deputy US Marshal. All ages welcome; primarily geared towards middle to high school age. We will be joined with the Classical Conversations home school group as they prepare for their mock trial and learn about our court. This is our 4th Home School day! The day will be from 9:30 (court begins promptly so plan on arriving more like 9:00 in the rotunda as 9:30 is when we need to be seated) - 2:00. Final agenda and schedule will be sent to the parent email as trials and law and motion calendars change quickly. Once registered, you will receive security and parking information.
