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.

  1. Real-world Insight: A presentation by a local magistrate provides A level students with practical insights into the legal system, connecting theoretical knowledge to real-world applications.

  2. Career Exploration: Exposure to a magistrate’s role can inspire students to consider legal careers, offering them a firsthand understanding of the responsibilities and challenges in the legal profession.

  3. Understanding Legal Procedures: Magistrates can explain legal procedures, court protocols, and the decision-making process, helping students grasp the complexities of the justice system.

  4. Critical Thinking Development: Discussions with a magistrate can stimulate critical thinking skills as students analyze legal scenarios, evidence, and the ethical considerations involved in legal decisions.

  5. Preparation for Higher Education: For students considering law degrees or related fields, a magistrate’s presentation can serve as valuable preparation, offering insights that may be beneficial in further studies.

  6. Question and Answer Opportunities: A presentation allows students to engage in meaningful Q&A sessions, addressing any uncertainties or inquiries they may have about the legal profession.

  7. Legal Awareness: The session can enhance legal awareness, ensuring that students are well-informed about their legal rights and obligations as they transition into adulthood.

  8. Civic Responsibility: Magistrates can emphasize the importance of civic responsibility, encouraging students to be active and informed participants in their communities.

  9. Practical Application of Legal Concepts: Magistrate presentations can help bridge the gap between theoretical legal concepts learned in the classroom and their practical application in real-life legal scenarios.

  10. Demystifying the Legal System: Understanding the role of magistrates can demystify the legal system, making it more approachable and fostering a positive view of the justice system among students.
