What Participants Say...
We think that the Summer Courthouse Experience is an excellent experience for students interested in moot court, criminal justice, law school, or just learning more about how the trial court system works. Participants gain unique insights into the court system that many people practicing in the courts have never had. Past participants agree:

"The JTOP program and how it works really amazed me. I was intrigued by it."
"I found the dog-therapy program for child witnesses fascinating."
"It was great to see all of the little idiosyncrasies of the court -- like the fact that most judges don't use a gavel, how juries are selected, how many cases don't go to trial."
"The judges were great! Their enthusiasm, insights, and approachability made this program fun."
