3/24/02: DAY CLASS: I received a copy of the new judges' schedule; however, its format makes it very difficult to post on the web. Thus, if you want to monitor over the break, go to any Criminal Court courtroom (use previous monitoring sheet for courtroom locations) and monitor the judge presiding. Be sure to note the name of the judge on the monitoring form. Try not to monitor the same judge more than twice. I will distribute the new schedules in class once we return from break. Remember, you need hand in TWO completed monitoring forms on or before April 1.
