Justice 101 at Rogers Elementary

Judge Derek Meinecke, a judge for the 44th District Court, spent time with Mrs. Kristy Watkins-Visnaw fifth grade class at Rogers on January 30. Judge Meinecke visited the class, to discuss aspects of the judicial branch of government. He was also there to prepare the students for their courthouse visit where the students will tour the court and observe an open court session from the jury box.

This visit is part of the Justice 101 program which was started by the local 44th District Court. The goal of this program is to teach students about the court system and to provide context and understanding for the field trip to the 44th District Court.
