Thursday in Mrs. Nash-Mayberry's government classes, as part of their judicial unit which will conclude with a mock trial, Mr. Daniel Bronke with the SIUC School of Justice and Public Safety spoke to seniors. Mr. Bronke has been a criminal and civil law professor, State's Attorney, public defender, and now a judge. Students were able to ask him a number of questions about criminal law and learn strategies for being both a prosecuting and defense attorney.
