In his courtroom in the Dayton, Ohio Federal Courthouse, Judge Newman hosted civics students from Tippecanoe High School in Tipp City, Ohio.
Four teachers from Tippecanoe High attended the morning session including teacher Randy Sentman with whom Judge Newman has appeared on the Cincinnati Public Radio station, WVXU, to talk about civics education in the Southern District of Ohio.
The students heard presentations from Judge Newman, career law clerk Mike Rhinehart, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Koller, and Deputy U.S. Marshal Ivan Garcia. A number of topics were covered in the three-hour session including federal jurisdiction, the structure of the federal courts, separation of powers, state versus federal courts, criminal and civil cases, trials, mediations, the Judiciary Act of 1789, and the history of the Southern District of Ohio.
