San Bernardino County students host Judge Joseph Widman for a one-hour lesson in civics.

Connect with Your Court

The map below is designed to display court locations within each county. Blue tags represent central court locations in California, often referred to as the Main Courthouse. These facilities are frequently the ones that offer tours for schools. The contact information and website links in the blue tags should be used to learn more about local opportunities.  

Educators in every county in California have access to a "civics pro"--a judge! From inviting a judge to your classroom to inviting your classroom to the court, the California Courts want to connect with your students. Each connection provides a better understanding of our democracy. 

In areas where a courthouse may be too far from your school for a visit, most of our volunteers make remote visits. 

ESL, non-traditional learning settings, and clubs are all encouraged to connect with their local court. Questions? Email: judicialoutreach@jud.ca.gov

THERE'S A BUZZ OUT THERE:

Elementary School Teacher, San Diego

I thought the program was outstanding! It was nice for the children to see that judges are normal people too.

Judge, Sacramento County

“I really enjoyed working with the teacher and the students.  I had about 10 students who actively participated and we had a great discussion."

5th Grade Student, Butte County

It was great! (smiley face)
