Missouri Supreme Court’s New Interactive Learning Hub | Jefferson City News

Missouri’s Supreme Court just unveiled its brand-new Judicial Discovery Center — a hands-on, interactive hub where visitors can meet talking judge portraits, explore shadow box exhibits, and learn how the court system works. Designed to demystify justice for all ages, the $400K center — funded by the Missouri Supreme Court Historical Society — opened with a bang, welcoming students from New Franklin High School, whose school town hosted the state’s very first court case in 1821. Judge Mary Russell, who led the 10-year push, says it’s part of a growing trend across states to make courts more accessible. Students like Addison Forbis loved the real-world connection — seeing judges as once-ordinary students — and praised the fun, classroom-free learning. Free and open weekdays from 8 AM to 5 PM, this is your chance to dive into the judicial world without textbooks or boredom.
