Students will then walk to their pre-assigned courtrooms in neighboring courthouses for interactive sessions with judges, attorneys and law enforcement officers. Twenty courtrooms are reserved for the sessions. The celebration concludes with a bag lunch. Activities during lunch include a mock vote, the “Fatal Vision” program and a Teen Court recruitment table and Teen Dating Violence Prevention information table. The students are asked to bring canned food items to be donated to the Food Bank.
