From the North Carolina Court System comes the Home Court Advantage website to help kids learn about who’s who in the courts and what the courts do by comparing the process and the players to a basketball game. Kids will learn about the “scorekeepers,” the “coaches,” and the “referees.”
“Courts are a very important part of all citizens’ lives. They help keep much needed order in society, and court officials make decisions that affect everyone. Kids are special people, and courts make decisions that affect them, too. Just like adults, kids need to know how courts work and why they exist. This web site was created to help explain the courts in a way kids can understand.”
There are also suggestions for setting up a visit to a court in your area.
