High Schoolers Get a Special Treat During Tour

Twenty one young ladies from Nova High School visited the central courthouse on Friday, as part of the Women of Tomorrow mentoring program. They had the chance to speak with Circuit Court Judge Andrea Ruth Gundersen and observe circuit criminal court, but what may have been the highlight of their visit was an in-depth tour of the Broward Sheriff’s Office Crime Lab and Crime Scene Unit. The students and chaperones learned about DNA, ballistics, evidence collection, and more. Special thanks to Detective Currie for giving the students such a unique experience!

Clothing Closet Thrives with Donations

 

The Clothing Closet, created in 2013 and named in memory of Judge Susan J. Aramony, a strong advocate of children and families who passed away that same year, continues to thrive in the central courthouse. The donation-only “boutique” offers families and youth involved in the court system an opportunity to supplement their wardrobe with clothing appropriate for job interviews, community service, and special occasions.

The gently used (and sometimes new) items cover everything from children’s clothes and shoes to men’s and women’s work attire and formal wear. Referrals to shop the Clothing Closet are made by court and community-based professionals and coordinated through Court Administration.
