Political experience reflection

My political experience was Teen Court. I felt it was a good way to learn about America's courts and the consequences of people's actions. Overall, it was a fun experience and I learned a lot . The two cases were theft and trespassing and our verdict fit the case very well. I hope to do this experience again.
