“The Academy broke down the civil court process in a way that was simple and informative. I walked away with a clear understanding of my role as a juror, and I feel more empowered as a citizen. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn more about the justice system.”

“The Citizens’ Civil Academy was a real eye-opener for me. I never realized how important civil courts are to our community, and now I feel much more confident about serving on a jury. The classes were engaging and easy to understand, even for someone with no legal background!”
Sandra Watson
“This program helped me understand how the civil court system works, from start to finish. I used to feel overwhelmed by the idea of jury duty, but after attending the Academy, I’m actually excited to participate. Judge Staci Williams has done an incredible job making the courts accessible to everyday citizens.”
