Students started the morning spending time with a Judge where he shared his experiences within the law profession and answered questions from students about a variety of legal issues they found intriguing. Thereafter the students were divided into groups and together with guidance from Rule of Law facilitators moved between various courts being exposed to the daily operations of our justice systems. Students gained perspective on the vital importance the judiciary and courts play in the achievement of the rule of law in Australia and their engagement therein will help to prepare them for their civic life and responsibilities as they approach adulthood.<\/span><\/p>\n

They also commented on how being witness to practical application of what they\u2019re learning in class has improved their understanding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
