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 />

• Organized the <strong>Court</strong>’s two Forum on the Law events<br />

(p. 16)<br />

• Organized Off-Site <strong>Court</strong> sessions in Columbiana<br />

and Paulding counties, attracting 690 student and<br />

teacher observers<br />

• Arranged a week-long study of <strong>Ohio</strong>’s legal and<br />

judicial system for a six-member delegation of<br />

Ukrainian judges<br />

• Developed and presented five programs for the<br />

Judicial Family Network.<br />

• Installed portraits of five members of the famed<br />

Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American pilots<br />

who flew World War II combat Missions.<br />
