State’s Attorney Hosts Law Day for Local Students
More than 30 students from Bouchet Math and Science Academy in Chicago spent the day at the George Leighton Criminal Courts Building, getting a firsthand look at the criminal justice system, including a presentation from Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez.
The students were participating in Law Day, an annual event sponsored by the American Bar Association that celebrates the rule of law in our society. The 2015 theme for Law Day, which was May 1st, was “Magna Carta: Symbol of Freedom Under the Law.â€
The students heard from several individuals who work in various areas of the criminal justice system and took a tour of the courthouse.
