Classroom to Courtroom

The Classroom to Courtroom (C2C) program brings courtroom education into 7th grade classrooms in Leon County. The program proposes a 4 day plan that is supplemental to current civics courses.

Days 1 and 2: Familiarize students with courtroom personnel, trial procedure, and mock trial cases. Students will choose a case and take on the roles of attorneys, witnesses, and jurors.

Day 3: A guest speaker that will visit the classroom to review courtroom procedures and assist Prosecution and Defense teams in preparing their case.

Day 4: A visit to the Leon County Courthouse where the students will observe real court proceedings, tour the courthouse, and present their mock trial in an actual courtroom with a volunteer judge.
