    The people being honored are listed. We’ll see how neighborhood courts work for longer than a few months before anyone gets honored. but we should have a volunteer from the neighborhood courts that will talk about the program on our panel.

    @Mr.Obvious….I personally would love to have a person from the district attorneys office represent them on this program. I may come up with someone..it really is fundamental for a better system to work hard on being on the same page for a righteous justice system. Lord willing, I can get someone from their office to step up to the plate and represent.
