Czarina goes to court, dons legal robes
Gloomy, wet, perfect: the best words to describe today.
Leaving behind sprinkles of rain here and there, school's Law class entered the modern, majestic walls of the Provincial Courthouse--and I'm not even kidding about the majestic part.
The highlights:- tour of courtroom, judge's bench, jury deliberation chambers
- meetings with sheriff, judge, RCMP officer, Crown counsel
- super accomodating judges with excellent senses of humour
- watching trials in progress
- mock trials for the Big Bad Wolf
(Which by the way, prosecution had a horrible case. No wonder defence found it so easy to poke holes.)
It was such an amazing learning experience! From the truth about defence counsels, to the pillars of sentencing, to the fact that lawyers actually have family lives--there's so much to take in!
Going back to regular school is going to be so, for lack of a better word, blaaah after this. But for now, I'm going to enjoy the experience
... and start counting down the days till I graduate. :)
