Bring Your Kids To Court Day

July 26th was our first ever Bring Your Kid to Court Day and it was a HIT! Bar Association kids and relatives (depending on their ages) met judges, attended traffic court, had a scavenger hunt, toured courtrooms, chambers, holding cells, the KidSense room, elections, land records, the clerk’s criminal and civil divisions, met Tubbs the Therapy Dog, had story time, ate lunch and left with swag bags from both the clerk’s office and the 22nd JDC Bar Association. We could not have done it without our selfless volunteers, Justice Center Administration and Facilities Staff, and Deputies from the Sheriff’s Office. A special thank you to Judges Lobello, Amacker, and Oppenheim for making these kids’ day so special!

Thank you to Judge Oppenheim and Judge Amacker for the warm welcome as our young visitors and their parents explored the hallowed halls of our Justice Center!

We appreciate Judge Lobello who provided an inspiring opportunity for the youth and their parents to experience the courtroom during “Bring Your Kids To Court Day”. It was a motivational visit that concluded with an enriching tour of the Clerk’s Office led by our Clerk Of Court Jessica Brewster. We are grateful for both of you!

Attorney Ana Lopez and our youngest visitors make good use of the jury box to take a breather and enjoy story time.

You may not be able to see that happy dog getting lots of belly rubs, but we promise Tubbs is under all those loving hands and having a doggone good time! Thank you to Tubbs and Amber Sheppard for providing the pawsitively best finale ever to “Bring Your Kid To Court Day”.
