DeKalb Magistrate Court to host Community Education Day

 The DeKalb County Magistrate Court will host its annual Magistrate Court 101: Community Education Day on Saturday, March 2, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., at the DeKalb County Courthouse, 556 N. McDonough St.

Chief Magistrate Judge Berryl A. Anderson created the program in 2013 to provide an opportunity for school-aged children to learn about the court system. The current program is designed for middle/high school-aged students and adults. Activities include interactive sessions on the Georgia court system with a focus on the DeKalb County Magistrate Court, a court tour, and a mock-trial exercise, and is held in the courtroom to provide a realistic experience for attendees.

The event is free to the community. Due to limited space, registration is required for each participant on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is open until Friday, Feb. 22 or until space is filled.
