Teachers – We know that field trips may be in danger of being crossed off your lists this year due to tighter budgets, so we would like to help.
Are you interested in getting a grant to help your class see the Supreme Court of Ohio in Columbus?
The Visitor Education Center is now accepting grant applications for consideration.
The grant may cover up to $400 in field trip transportation costs for your students to visit the Supreme Court of Ohio during the 2011-12 school year.
Time is ticking and will run out on Sept. 15.
A visit to the Ohio Judicial Center is a great way for your students to experience government and for you to supplement your classroom lessons.
Your students could even have the chance to talk to me about why courts are so important in our everyday lives.
Find the application at this link: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEZESnBfR21oaFZ5SWxJbU94bEZ5OHc6MQ.
Best of luck – we hope to see you and your class!

About the Justice Judy Blog
As a former teacher and a judge, I take very seriously my obligation to fulfill the mandate in the Ohio Code of Judicial Conduct, which requires that “A judge should initiate and participate in activities for the purpose of promoting public understanding of and confidence in the administration of justice. In conducting such activities, the judge must act in a manner consistent with this code” 1.2 (Comment 6).
This blog is a carefully balanced medium for me to fulfill this obligation using the latest information technology. Studies show that today's young people are the most plugged in generation ever. Blogging offers an opportunity to connect with these young people where they now spend most of their time: Online.
On pages of the Justice Judy blog you will find simple, straightforward explanations of judicial concepts and processes, as well as discussions about current developments in the legal profession and the law.
You will not find political commentary, interpretations of judicial decisions, or anything else that would carry even the remote possibility of violating the other judicial canons, which are in place to ensure that we have an independent, fair and impartial court system.
By allowing comments to be posted, I am able to interact with the public I serve to further the cause of an understandable and accessible judiciary. By moderating the comments, I ensure that the discussion is appropriate and thoughtful. I hope you will become a regular reader and tell me what you think.
