TWENTY BOSTON PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL SCHOOL STUDENTS
LEARNING ABOUT THE LAW IN SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT’S
2006 JUDICIAL YOUTH CORPS PROGRAM
Judges,
lawyers, and court employees are helping twenty Boston
public high school students learn about the court system
and the rule of law in the sixteenth annual Judicial
Youth Corps program. Volunteering as instructors, supervisors,
or mentors, the judges, court staff, and attorneys are
teaching students about criminal and civil law, covering
topics such as juvenile justice, landlord-tenant issues,
family law, mediation, and the appellate process.
The
Judicial Youth Corps program began in May and June with
six weekly educational sessions. In July and August the
students are working as paid summer interns in courts
throughout Suffolk County with clerks, probation officers,
and other court staff. They also are continuing weekly
educational sessions, including field trips to the Nashua
Street Jail and the Boston Police Department. They also
will be “shadowing” judges to learn first
hand how trials are conducted. The Boston Private Industry
Council is providing funds for the summer internships.
