Bay area judges unite to inspire students

Clearwater, Florida - Several Bay area judges gathered at Mount Olive AM.E. Church in Clearwater to talk to students about the judicial process in an event called the Alpha Institute Judicial Forum.

Randy Lightfoot, one of the program directors for the Youth Development Initiative, says, "We're trying to get them to see that there's another side of the law. That what you see on television is just a small microcosm of what the total law picture is all about."

Karalia Baldwin is also a program director for the organization and says, "They wanted for them to be able to see a judge before they'd gotten into trouble and to look at it as a positive role model to look and see what it is they need to do to be productive citizens."

Pasco Circuit Court Judge Michael Andrews organized the first forum 10 years ago and told the crowd, "I believe that everyone in this room is capable of whatever it is they wish to achieve in life."
