We went on a field trip to the law courts as part of our Law module. That was interesting because it was my first time to go to a court. We had a look around and we got to see some trials and some of the verdicts. We visited them near the end of the year, so I could really relate everything I had learned during the course to the what I was seeing. It was a very valuable experience for me.
