The Woodlands Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. Mock Trial Participants
The Woodlands Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. recently hosted and participated in a mock trial at the Harris County Courthouse in Houston, Texas for the Jack and Jill of America National Legislative Initiative. The mock trial experience was recently held on Saturday, March 25, 2017, at the Harris County Courthouse in Downtown Houston, Texas. Harris County Judges Hall, Franklin, Phillips, and Powell welcomed everyone to their chambers and permitted us access to their courtroom for the mock trial experience. The mock trial experience included a guided tour of the Harris County Courthouse. Participants were able to see the jury room, judges chambers, and get an overview of the constitution rooms. The “I’m Just a Bill” video from Schoolhouse Rock played to explain the legislative branch as well. Certificates to each child were signed and given by The Honorable Judges congratulating them for participating in a mock trial experience as well as some other goodies that the participants absolutely loved.
