Law and justice

On Wednesday the 3rd of October 2002 the law class was on a trip to the Magistrates Court in Newcastle town centre. The law lecturer Jen Stephenson arranged this.

It was kind of scary even though you are out side of it, I would hate to imagine what it would feel like for the defendants in the dock.
