Have you ever wanted to visit a classroom but did not know what to present or who to contact about arranging the visit? The All Rise!-Comprehending the Texas Court System program is designed to help build public awareness and understanding of the Texas judiciary, through judges visiting classrooms.
Materials for the classroom presentations are listed below. All the activities promote interactive communication between the attorney and the students.
One of the components of All Rise is an interactive computer game that will help students understand the role of Texas courts. The game features various levels of questioning and applications for students about the Texas Court system. First, students will identify the functions of the individual courts. Secondly, scenarios are given involving actions that will result in cases being taken to court. Students will have to identify the correct court that will hear each case and follow a criminal or civil case as it travels through the court system. The last level features a challenge round featuring questions submitted by Texas judges and justices.
