Judge to hold court at Wayndotte high school
On Thursday, Jan. 12, Wayne County 27th District Court Judge Randy Kalmbach will be holding court at Wyandotte Roosevelt High School beginning at 9 a.m.
The court docket will feature a number of misdemeanor matters, including several drunk-driving and other drug and alcohol related cases. All cases are actual pending matters before the court.
The school visit is part of Kalmbach's "proactive approach to solving several of the more serious problems facing the children of these communities: drinking and driving, underage drinking, drug use, shoplifting, and juvenile crime." According to Kalmbach, "the students will see firsthand that there are serious consequences for those who break the law."
Following the actual session of the court, Kalmbach will then conduct the Critical Life Choices Program.
"This program is designed to show these kids that before they go along with their friends or succumb to peer pressure, they should first to a risk analysis," said Kalmbach, who started the program in 1999. "Once they realize that in addition to court sanctions, other consequences await them, such as injury or death, hopefully they will decided it's not worth the risk to join in. This is a highly successful program that will save lives."
The off-site session of the court, which is open to the public, is part of a judicial initiative to help students make positive decisions when tempted by alcohol and drugs. More than 13,000 students have participated in the program over the past 12 years.
