Quotations: As she explained: “I have taught the ‘Law Experience’ at the Santa Barbara Superior Courthouse for over fifteen years. I teach approximately twelve to fifteen hundred youths a year. This work is part of the large docent program at the courthouse. I teach in a courtroom and cover the material in my book including arrest (with handcuffs and jail clothing), arraignment, and a mock trial. This means I am current in thought about youth, education, juvenile justice, and law."
