The West Babylon Junior High School Mock Trial team got a firsthand look at the judicial branch of government as they visited the John P. Cohalan Court Complex in Suffolk County. Students toured the court, saw the inside of a holding cell, learned about various careers within the court system, and even got to observe arraignments. The highlight of the visit was a question-and-answer session with the Honorable Judge John Iliou.
