INDEPENDENCE YOUTH COURT

 
 

On Wednesday, December 17, 2014 our new attorneys were sworn in by Honorable Judge Stephen Nixon. Going through training and passing a bar exam was part of the program to become a volunteer Attorney with Independence Youth Court. Students from Eastern Jackson County Youth Court were trained and sworn in as well. We count on these volunteer attorneys.
