Law-Related Educations Has Hearing at Boston Courthouse

The Boston courthouse hosted the annual conference of the Massachusetts Association for Law-Related Education this fall. Teachers and a class of high-school students from nearby Milford, Massachusetts, participated in two panels, one on search and seizure issues and another on the rights of criminals and victims. U.S. District Judge Patti B. Saris, the court's education liaison, was the moderator on both panels. Participants also heard about the resources available to educators on the federal Judiciary.
