On Wednesday the 8th grade class had an awesome experience at the Ventura Courthouse. The students were able to sit in on discussions in traffic court and preliminary hearing court. The judges also answered questions from the students. Next a bailiff explained his job and all the tools on his belt. Lastly, we were able to conduct a mock trial. The jury did find the defendant not guilty! The class felt this was a fantastic field trip and learned so much about our justice system.
