With around 90 courtrooms, the Royal Courts of Justice deals mainly in appeal cases and constructed 120 years ago.
After arriving in our courtroom, the children were able dress up as the characters from the courtroom.
We had a judge...
A clerk and an usher...
We had barristers and witnesses.
Not forgetting those important people who decide the fate of the defendant, the jury.
After performing their impressive trial, the class got to speak to a Judge's clerk and ask her questions about the careers in the courts, as well as her sharing with the class stories about some of the trials she's been involved with, including Apple vs Samsung.
The trip was topped off with a visit to the costume department, with some if the outfits worn by the members of the courts on display! Can you spot the outfit embroidered with 24 carat gold?!
We then saw this unusual sculpture of Cheif Lord Justice (2000-2005) Harry Woolf, can you tell which everyday household item it is made from?
