Join us at Moakley Courthouse!
Since February, Citizen Schools & Discovering Justice have partnered with law firms across Boston to transform conference rooms & courtrooms into classrooms where volunteer attorneys teach middle school students the ins and outs of the law, as they prepare for their trials.
On May 24th, students will put their learning to the test as they present their cases in front of a real judge, family members, and civic leaders.
The Evening
5:00-5:40 Arrival and Judges/Juror Reception
5:40-6:00 Opening Remarks & Transition to Courtrooms
6:00-7:00 Students Deliver Trial
7:00-7:30 Celebratory Pizza Reception
Additional Details & Getting There: Please bring a photo ID to pass through security. You will have to “check” technology at the security desk. Take the Silver Line 1 or 2 to Courthouse Station or pay for parking at one of the parking lots located on Northern Ave in front of the courthouse. All-day parking is generally around $14.
