Lakeland HS Students Graduate Youth Court

Congratulations to Lakeland High School’s Christopher Kenney and Robert Markman who were among the graduates Wednesday, Feb. 10, of the Yorktown Youth Court.

The Youth Court’s commencement ceremony was held at Yorktown Justice Court to recognize the students in the 2016 Youth Court Graduating Class.

Youth Court volunteer members range in age from 13 to 19. They complete a comprehensive training program overseen by professionals in the field, including police officers, social workers, members of the District Attorney’s office, and other sectors of the legal community. It concludes with a mock trial and bar exam to ensure that the volunteer members have achieved the necessary knowledge and confidence to fulfill their roles.
