Tennessee Court of Appeals Judge W. Neal McBrayer visited with a group of 20 students at the University School of Nashville recently to answer questions during their contemporary civics class. “Classes like these are so important for proper function of a democracy,” McBrayer said. “People need to know how governmental systems work and this is where it starts, in the classroom.” McBrayer fielded questions on age limits for judges, how he prepared to become a judge and the types of cases that keep him up at night. The students in the class are tasked with selecting a specific area of study, whether local, national or international. They then invite speakers to their classroom based on that focus. “And, so, if ever there is a civics class that wants to hear from a judge, I am there. I am there because it’s that important,” McBrayer said. Read the full story from the Administrative Office of the Courts.
