Review for North Star Youth Court, Fairbanks, AK, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Youth court is a fun and interactive way to learn about the justice system and at the same time helping to get kids who made a mistake back on their feet. The entire courtroom is youths (attorneys, judges, clerks) but the youth court has real attorneys to teach the training and appear in court with you in case there is some kind of problem that can't be resolved easily. The youth court is an amazing program that I strongly encourage anyone and everyone to try and get involved with.
