4th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Marty Siemer visited THS Civics classes on Friday February 5, 2021. He spoke to THS sophomores about the structure of the Illinois Courts System, the various details of the trial process, and how citizens can serve through jury duty. While Judge Siemer also fielded several questions from the classes, no students were found in contempt of court today, and the visit was certainly enjoyed by all! Thanks again to Judge Siemer for taking the time to make today's visit work out!
