Eighth Grade Court Tour Program
8th Grade Civics students will have the opportunity to go on a tour of the Fairfax County Courthouse on Tuesday, December 17 & Wednesday, December 18. Due to limitations only eighty students can go, forty students each day. Students will be able to apply by submitting their name via a Google Form that will be posted to their Civics teacher’s Blackboard or Google Classroom. The form will be open November 18-November 25. The students who submit their name will then be randomly selected through a number generator by order of their form submission.
The Eighth Grade Court Tour Program is to educate the young people of Fairfax County about the civil and criminal judicial system of the county and state by providing background information about the system and then reinforcing this with a field trip to the Fairfax County Courthouse. Through lectures, direct participation, observation, and the question-and-answer discussion, it is hoped that participants will show a greater respect for the legal system, and gain a better understanding of the judicial branch of government and the process by which a case comes to trial and a decision is rendered.
