ort St John's open house was held on April 18, 2007 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Fort St John courthouse. The most popular event at the Fort St John open house was a mock robbery trial with a judge, local area lawyers in the roles of crown counsel, defendant and defense counsel, and a police officer whom presented forensic evidence. The jury was selected from members of the public. The trial was followed by a Q&A session with the judge where members of the public had an opportunity to ask questions about the justice system. The open house featured several display booths from a variety of legal organizations and tours of an RCMP police cruiser. There were prize draws and refreshments served throughout the day. Special thanks to Tanya Helton for organizing Fort St John Law Day events.
