Inside the Courts is a free four-week class that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the court system. In addition to providing the public with an up-close examination of the workings of the judicial branch, the program also addresses some of the more frequently asked questions, such as:

• "What do Judges consider when imposing sentences?"
• "What happens to juveniles who break the law?"
• "Are all individuals who are charged with a crime eligible for bail?"
• “What is a domestic violence injunction?”
• “How many people are on death row in Florida?”

Inside the Courts is taught by a team of more than one dozen Judges. Participants will gain a greater understanding of the court system and the importance of the judicial process. Participants who complete the four-part program will receive certificates recognizing that achievement.

Inside the Courts is held annually each winter in the Jury Assembly Room on the first floor of the Orange County Courthouse, 425 North Orange Avenue, in downtown Orlando. It is available to the general public and there is NO CHARGE to attend.
