Students from South Plantation High School got an up-close look at justice in action this week during a courthouse tour that included Judge Corey B. Friedman’s first appearance court and the juvenile courts of Judges Elijah H. Williams and Michael J. Orlando.
Members of the 5000 Role Models of Excellence mentoring program also had the opportunity to meet Broward State Attorney Harold F. Pryor, Broward Public Defender’s Community Outreach Coordinator Janelle Floyd, and Sanissa Macko, a DNA analyst with the Broward Sheriff’s Office Crime Lab.
Together, these experiences gave students a well-rounded understanding of the many essential roles played by judges, attorneys, assistant state attorneys, assistant public defenders, the Broward Sheriff’s Office, and the support professionals who help the justice system function every day.
