The stud- ents will attend criminal court and then chat with the judge after the morning session. The court session should bring an understand- ing of how the judge and attorneys think and operate, and especially how human weaknesses can affect the impartiality of the law. Another important part of the course is the students' own projects, which may be a prepared paper, a seminar discussion or an outside speaker dealing with one of twenty-five topics from Re- form Institutions, to Careers in Law Enforcement, to Pro- posed Changes in Laws. After the first semester course in Criminal Law, the youngsters can take a second course in Civil Law, begin- ning in February. The Sec.- Treas. of the Steel Workers of America will explain la- bour's role in the legal sys- tem, and a lawyer and land- lord will present views on recent changes in the Land- lord and Tenant's Act. Other possible visitors include a speaker on Legal Aid, and a Security Man from a large store His subject, shop lifting and its implications for teen-agers is of special significance for all young people, as he would explain the store's powers to begin placing charges against sus- pected offenders Al Nichols himself is a de votee of the courses he tea- yches, being in touch with all j the local law enforcement | agencies On more than one occasion he has gone on pa- trol with detectives from the Oshawa Police in order to gain first hand information i that will add to his classes'® j interest In the course, All in all, Al Nichol's law students stand to gain valu Hable practical knowledge of the legal system under which they m y must live. ®
