Here are selected pictures and videos from a Constitution Day Event at the Douglas County Courthouse in September 2024. Three local schools participated (86 students). Students enjoyed tours of the courthouse and took turns being present for the reading. Students visited departments and services, including the local self-help center, the 911 dispatch center, court security, and they heard from the Chief judge about the role of the courts, and the District Attorney, and Chief Public Defender spoke about their offices and roles. Students capped off their trips with FBA gavel pencils, pocket Constitutions donated by the District of Kansas, and Constitution Day-themed frosted sugar cookies.
