About 170 kids showed up at DC Superior Court on Saturday to get an up close look at the legal system as part of the annual DC Youth Law Fair.

Hosted by the District of Columbia Bar and DC courts, the fair is a chance for kids to see a courtroom and holding cells and meet with judges on friendlier terms.

“We want to introduce the young people to the criminal justice system and the legal system in a positive sense,” said Judge Jose Lopez, one of the organizers of this event.
