Colorado Judicial Branch
Expand your knowledge
At the Colorado Judicial Branch, we offer a variety of community engagement and outreach opportunities so teachers, students and the general public can better understand our state judicial system.
Our free resources include a Judicial Learning Center in Denver, tours, court visits, curriculum and more.
Courts in the Community
This educational outreach program gives high school students a firsthand look at how the Colorado judicial system operates and how disputes are resolved in a democratic society. Colorado Supreme Court Justices and Court of Appeals judges travel to high schools across Colorado to hear oral arguments at each location, meeting students around the state and educating the public about their work.
