These videos demonstrate the efforts of Missouri judges to educate people about the role of the courts and the importance of a fair and impartial judiciary. The opportunities for judges to interact with Missourians come in a wide array of possibilities: a room full of preschoolers encountering a judge for the first time; a group of adults meeting for lunch at a civic organization; elementary school students touring the Supreme Court; and Boys and Girls State participants observing a case being heard by an appellate court. Each video captures an aspect of our civic education story, presenting insights of the judges and reactions of audience members.
