Arizona's judges needed no convincing that educating students about our legal system contributes to the strength of the system and helps the students, as citizens, understand and appreciate their rights and responsibilities under the system, and they needed no convincing that they should contribute their expertise to explaining the system. Our challenge lay in finding a way to coordinate the work of teachers and of judges and to provide materials to busy judges willing to visit classrooms. The wonderful instruction provided through Judges Connecting with Classrooms meets that challenge. Both teachers and judges should benefit from the information, plans, and materials provided, which will allow judges to enter classrooms armed with information and teaching aids.
