Carmel students quiz Supreme Court justice on law and government
New Illinois Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Rochford stopped in Mundelein on Tuesday to meet with students from Carmel Catholic High School's U.S. government classes.
After telling students about her background and the election process for the Illinois Supreme Court, Rochford answered a long list of thoughtful questions on topics ranging from inherent bias to where justices stay while the high court is in session.
Senior Madeline Kiel was all smiles as she tried on Rochford's judicial robes before wielding her gavel in front of her classmates.
"Students teach me that there is so much more that we can do, and so much better," Rochford said.
