Students from Fort Lauderdale’s Seagull Alternative High School got an inside look at the justice system during a courthouse tour that included visits with Judge Corey B. Friedman in First Appearance Court and Judge Stacy Ross in Delinquency Court.
They observed detention hearings, watched as inmates appeared before Judge Friedman via video call, and wrapped up their visit at the Lamar Warren Law Library, where they learned the art of fingerprinting from a Broward Sheriff’s Office Crime Lab expert.
The day ended with an interactive Q&A led by a Public Defender’s Office community outreach coordinator, who shared insight into the vital role public defenders play in the courtroom.
