The 1999 Know Your Government topic was the court system. Each delegate was to
play a part in the mock trials- either judge, attorney, witness, or juror. For
a few months before the actual conference in March, all the delegates from
Yakima County would get together and learn about the courtroom procedures.
Judge Colby helped us with our mock trial. Then in Olympia we had the mock trials
on two topics- date rape and sexual harassment. We also ate breakfast with our
legislators. District 14 was able to visit Rep. Clements office and raid his
fridge (with his permission of course!).
The pictures may take a while to load--please be patient!
