Teaching Kids About Courts — Educational programs for students sponsored by the Alaska Court System is a series of interactive programs designed to educate K-12 students on the justice system, the legal process, and the principles of law. Programs include a variety of activities, such as role-playing, simulations, videos, and field trips to courtrooms. The goal of the program is to provide students with an understanding of the court system and how it affects their everyday lives. The program consists of three main types of educational programs: 1. Courtroom Visits: Students are taken on field trips to courtrooms to learn about the proceedings and watch hearings in action. 2. Mock Trials and Simulations: Students are given the opportunity to participate in mock trials and simulations to understand the legal process in practice. 3. Classroom Presentations: Presentations are given to students to teach them the principles of law and the court system in an engaging way. These programs are designed to give students a better understanding of the court system and its importance in society. Through these activities, students will gain an appreciation for the legal process and the principles of law, while developing an understanding of their rights and responsibilities as citizens.
