Court Connections
Our Community Outreach program connects the court with people of all ages and backgrounds through hands‑on, educational experiences in and beyond the courtroom. From welcoming new citizens at naturalization ceremonies and supporting student learning through civics contests to hosting school visits, international delegations, and public programs, we are committed to opening our doors and demystifying the justice system.
Explore the links below to find upcoming ceremonies, classroom and contest opportunities, information for visiting groups, and additional initiatives that invite you to engage with the courts and participate in civic life.
