Here is a nice story out of California, where members of the state judiciary are visitng K-12 classrooms to talk about the judiciary and civics more generally. Some visits include mock trials or Career Day talks.
In an era where public trust in all institutions, especially government institutions, is in decline, it is great to see judges sharing some of their time with schoolchildren. Today’s elementary school kids are tomorrow’s voters and (hopefully) engaged citizens. A single visit might promote a lifetime of healthy respect for the rule of law and our democratic society.
