Court of Appeal to Hold Education Program for High School Students
WHAT: The Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Division Three, will host its “Appellate Court Experience” (ACE) educational outreach program for students from Long Beach Polytechnic High School and California Academy of Math and Science High School.
WHEN: Tuesday, April 15, 2014, 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

ACE is co-sponsored by the Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, the Constitutional Rights Foundation, the Los Angeles County Bar Association’s Appellate Courts Committee, and the California Academy of Appellate Lawyers.
Launched in 2005, the program has helped educate thousands of high school students about the appellate courts. The ACE program includes a classroom curriculum administered by appellate attorneys, followed by a visit to the Court of Appeal to observe oral arguments in a case previously studied in the classroom. After oral argument, the students are introduced to the appellate court process first-hand with an opportunity to interact with the justices and the attorneys.
