Four times a year, Judge Kalmbach is in contact with the Wyandotte School District and the Riverview School District to make arrangement to hold ‘COURT IN THE SCHOOLS”.

Court is actually set up on stage with the proper decorum and equipment as required by the Michigan Supreme Court. The Judge in his judicial robe, Court Officers in uniforms, the Court Recorder, Probation Officer and Attorneys are present to conduct court on cases that the defendant has approved to participate in.

The Judge will speak to the audience of students as to what will occur prior to calling court to order. After the cases are heard, there is a special guest speaker that will address the students about a particular subject such as drug abuse, explanations about the laws, persons that have served in jail/prison, etc.

Upon conclusion the files are returned to the District Court for proper updating on the computers and defendants are instructed to return to pay fines & costs or meet with their Probation Officer.
