Law Merit Badge Seminar

About the Seminar
Following the requirements of the Law Merit Badge booklet, the judges and staff address the differences between civil and criminal laws, the origin of law, the development of the jury system, the Justinian Code and the Magna Carta, and famous trials in history. Actual judges preside over a mock trial with the Scouts serving as members of the jury. A guided tour of the Lake County Jail, Morgue and Courthouse normally round out the day. Lunch is provided from the $6 fee. Vending is available.
