The Judge Charles V. Johnson Youth and Law Forum, now in its 36th year, returns to Tukwila on November 14 with workshops, courtroom activities, and discussions addressing issues youth face, including law enforcement encounters, bullying, mental health, and online safety. Educator Erin Jones will deliver the keynote address, and former NBA player Shawn Kemp will join a student-led discussion.
The podcast episode features an interview with Rev. Dr. Margaret Spearmon, the forum’s event coordinator, and retired Judge LeRoy McCullough, a co-founder of the forum, discussing the event’s history and purpose in helping young people understand the law and their rights.
Interview by Chris B. Bennett.
