Colleges & Further Education
We have delivered many presentations to sixth-form colleges and Colleges of further education covering the work of the local magistrates and the administration of the criminal justice system.
This can be of considerable interest to students studying law or related subjects. We can arrange court visits and mock trials with your students.
Our presentations can be tailored to your specific needs and particular requirements.
There are no charges for our presentations.
Here are some of the benefits of having one of our team of magistrates visit your college.
