April 5, 2018

Jed's homeschool class has been preparing for a mock trial. 
in a real federal courthouse with a real federal judge, later this month,
so his class (along with some other similar classes in the region) met with the judge today in the courtroom 
for instructions on judicial proceedings.
The judge took us back into his chambers afterwards for further discussion and instructions and pictures.
The kids are all smiles in the picture, 
but they were all thinking the same thing all us moms were thinking - 
there is no way the kids are ready for this in two weeks!
This judge is intense, 
and it seems he expects the kids to know what real prosecutors 
and defense attorneys 
and witnesses 
and defendants 
do in a courtroom,
including courtroom protocol and procedures.
We have a lot of work to do. :(
