Whiteoak students visit Ohio Supreme Court building

By
Anthony Lomske-
On November 17th, the Whiteoak Government classes visited the Ohio Supreme Court in Columbus.  A number of students attended this educational trip to the ornately designed and awe inspiring building.  When the students arrived in the courtroom, the Justices were returning from a recess and everyone was able to hear a 15 minute rebuttal from both sides of the case.  This was a case involving a possible murder/homicide of a man that fell out of a boat in Lake Erie.  During the tour, students participated in an evidence workstation, which demonstrated how what people say might not always be true.  They also visited a display of court cases that had been reviewed in class and participated in a mock trial where students fill-in as jury, judge, prosecutor, and defense attorneys.  It was a great experience and very educational![[In-content Ad]]
