Civic Education Section<br />
<strong>The</strong> Civic Education Section was created to provide<br />
education programs and outreach efforts for visitors to the<br />
<strong>Ohio</strong> Judicial Center and the public at large. <strong>The</strong>se efforts<br />
include conducting tours of the building and the Visitor<br />
Education Center, coordinating the Off-Site <strong>Court</strong> program,<br />
providing assistance to the Judicial Family Network, working<br />
with international visitor groups, organizing special events,<br />
developing the <strong>Court</strong>’s art collection and increasing the<br />
<strong>Court</strong>’s historical resources.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Visitor Education Center unveiled a new exhibition<br />
— “Identity on Trial” — which features the use of science<br />
and technology in courtrooms. Five exhibits trace the<br />
history, use and impact of scientific advances in photography,<br />
fingerprinting, DNA and brain scans. <strong>The</strong> displays include<br />
hands-on activities illustrating the importance of observation,<br />
classification and analysis.<br />
Staff and volunteer guides conducted 280 tours for 11,989<br />
visitors. About 75 percent of the visitors were students,<br />
grades 3 through college. <strong>The</strong> 17 volunteers donated a total<br />
of 541 hours, representing a market value of $10,965.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Civic Education Section also:<br />
• Coordinated the swearing-in ceremony and<br />
reception for Justice Stratton and Justice O’Connor<br />
