Court of Appeal to Hold Education Program for High School Students

VENTURA—The Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Division Six, will host its educational outreach program, “Appellate Court Experience” (ACE), for students from Santa Paula High School.

The Appellate Court Experience has helped educate thousands of students about the appellate courts since it first launched in 2005. The program begins with a classroom curriculum administered by appellate attorneys, followed by a visit to the Court of Appeal to observe oral argument for the case previously studied in the classroom. After oral argument, the students are introduced to the appellate court process first-hand with an opportunity to interact with the attorneys arguing the case and the panel of justices who will be reviewing it.

The ACE program is co-sponsored by the Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District; Constitutional Rights Foundation; and the Los Angeles County Bar Association’s Appellate Courts Committee.
