The judicial branch is committed to educating Californians of all ages about our court system. The following highlights are examples of kindergarten through post-college education initiatives with which the branch is involved. Using a variety of approaches, these initiatives directly educate students about how the law and courts work and how they affect our society and students' lives. Some of these projects are led by Supreme Court, appellate court, or superior court leaders and others are led by staff in the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC). This list is just a sampling and does not include all local court projects targeted toward this audience.
