Young men from Miramar High School visited the Central Courthouse at the end of January, as part of the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project. The program pairs “at-risk” youth from ages 9-19 and pairs them with successful professional adult volunteers who provide advice, guidance and educational assistance.
During their half-day visit, the students observed bond court, speaking with presiding Judge Corey Amanda Cawthon during a break, shared one-on-one time with Gordon Weekes from the Public Defender’s Office, met Captain Ozzy Tianga from BSO Court Services, and sat it on Judge Marina Garcia-Wood’s criminal docket and Judge Elijah Williams’ juvenile delinquency docket.
