Where better to learn about the law than a historic courtroom?
A 17th century courthouse in Northampton is being used as a classroom to teach youngsters from secondary and primary schools about the history of law, citizenship, crime and punishment.
The Sessions House is owned by Northamptonshire County Council and was the county’s administrative centre for more than 300 years.
After a successful pilot last year, the National Centre for Citizenship and the Law (NCCL) is now running courtroom-based education activities there.
The NCCL aims to educate youngsters about the law, how it can affect people’s everyday lives and the consequences of breaking the law. It also runs educational sessions in Nottingham and London.
