The Classical Conversations homeschool group spent the morning getting an inside look at how justice works!
Their adventure began in the family courtroom of Judge Marlon J. Weiss, where they peppered the judge with questions about the kind of cases his court handles. Then they headed to first appearance court where they met Judge Corey B. Friedman and learned what transpires during an arraignment. Next, they, peeked inside the juvenile courtrooms of Judges Michael J. Orlando and Carlos S. Rebollo, discovering what happens when youth get in trouble with the law.
The group subsequently headed to the Lamar Warren Law Library where they met digital court reporter Joel Slotnick and Chief Assistant Public Defender Tayron Lopez, who discussed their roles in the judicial system. The students got a great snapshot of what really happens behind the scenes in court.
To top it off, they rode the elevator to the courthouse’s 20th floor and caught an unobstructed view of the ocean — a memorable finish to a morning of learning!
