Going to court can be scary or intimidating for anyone -- especially children. Yet children go to court every day, for all sorts of reasons.

We want to make the experience of going to court easier to understand for all children. This Web site will tell you what happens in court: who works there, what the rules are, and how you might be involved in a case. Remember that you can always ask questions if you are in court and feel afraid or confused.

I hope you will enjoy this Web site, learn from it, and have fun with it. You can visit again to help you remember what you want to know about going to court.

Honorable Justine E Del Muro
Administrative Judge
Family Court Division
16th Judicial Circuit of Missouri
