CPPE is proud to sponsor “Court in the Classroom.” The Honorable William Rush of the 76th district court of Michigan, brings his court to CMU. Students get to witness actual court-room proceedings and engage in discussion afterwards.

Upcoming Court in The Classroom:

When: Wednesday, September 21, 2005

Time: 10:30-12:00

The Honorable William Rush brings the Isabella County District Court to the campus of Central Michigan University . Not a mock court, but the actual court with real plaintiffs/defendants, Judge Rush will try alcohol/drug related cases beginning with thelowest level (first time offender),continuing to a second offender, and ending with a charge of felony. Students will gain a better understanding of the law and of the legal consequences of certain actions. After the proceedings, the judge will engage in a thought provoking discussion about the moral and legal aspects of the decisions made by the defendants.
