Our 5th grade students are invited to LAW DAY 2025 on Thursday, May 1, 2025! Law Day takes place at the Superior Court of Nevada County at 201 Church St, Nevada City, CA 95959. NCSOS, in partnership with the Nevada County Superior Court, is excited to welcome our students to LAW DAY.
This year, they are aligning with the American Bar Association's National Law Day theme of “The Constitution's Promise: Out of Many, One.” Students will explore how law enforcement, judicial officers and the court interact with the Constitution, in addition to learning about the day to day work of the judicial system. The event will feature a courthouse tour, informative sessions with justice partners and law enforcement, and a mock trial.
Students will have the opportunity to explore Department 6, the largest courtroom in the courthouse, which has not been accessible in previous years.
We are scheduled for the afternoon session with a tour beginning at 12pm and ending at 1:50. We are asking parents to drive. Blended Middle School students will start their day at Arete and have regular classes until 11. Parent drivers will meet at Arete at 11am and will load and leave by 11:15am. Hybrid students can arrive at Arete at 11 or arrive at the courthouse at 11:45 to meet Mrs. Whalen out front. However they are getting there, everyone should meet Mrs. Whalen in front of the courthouse by 11:45 to be ready to start the tour by 12. After the field trip, all students will either get picked up at the courthouse or go back to Arete to get picked up. Students should eat a LARGE snack before they go as the tour goes through lunchtime. Please complete the permission slip by April 24, 2025
