Citizens are invited to sign up for an exciting free Winter 2012 Marysville University class: “Law & Order: An Inside Look at Marysville’s Criminal Justice System.” The class is scheduled for 6:30-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 18. For the full effect, the class will be held in the Marysville Municipal Court at 1015 State Ave. The Marysville court also hears cases for the cities of Arlington and Lake Stevens. While this course will appeal to citizens interested in gaining better firsthand knowledge of the many services and programs provided by the court, it is also a great class for students and others interested in a career in law. Speakers will include Municipal Court Judges Fred Gillings and Lorrie Towers, Court Administrator Suzi Elsner and Prosecuting Attorney Jennifer Millett. The night will end with an optional tour of the courthouse. “MU provides an informal classroom-style forum that brings people from the community together to gain a better understanding of how their local government functions, inspires them to become part of the solution-seeking process, and informs them about City programs, services and projects,” says Mayor Jon Nehring. Free refreshments will be available. Classes are videotaped, and will be shown on Marysville Cable Access TV 21 (Comcast) and TV 25 (Frontier) at dates to be announced later.
