Assistant District Attorney Erica Parham and Judge Linda Cartisano |
Chester High
School wrapped up Law Day events with an annual visit from Assistant District
Attorney Erica Parham and Judge Linda Cartisano. They discussed several nationwide
current events including the riots in Baltimore, incidents involving law
enforcement, and prominent cases in the news. The Law Day theme was Magna
Carta. Based on a hypothetical situation, students discussed whether there was
evidence sufficient to sustain a conviction and whether there was legally
adequate defense to the offenses charged; a very complex case with lots of
twist to hold students’ interest in the legal process. Looking forward to next year’s
Law Day.
