Judges to Visit Students on Constitution Day
Trial and appellate judges will be talking to students about the U.S. Constitution on Wednesday, Sept. 17 in recognition of the anniversary of the signing of the document.

The project may include a public service announcement about jury duty, a discussion about statistics on state and county jury trials and a mock jury selection.
