Yesterday, Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) held his third Federal Judiciary Youth Summit at the Northern District of Iowa Federal Courthouse in Sioux City. 17 high schools from nine counties in northwest Iowa participated in the program. U.S. District Chief Judge Leonard T. Strand joined Grassley to speak on his involvement in the federal judicial system and answer questions from students.
“I enjoy any opportunity to engage in dialogue with Iowa high school students on any issue, including how the federal courts impact their families and way of life. Understanding the role of the courts at all levels is important. Whether exercising their constitutional freedoms, casting a vote at the ballot box, running for public office or serving on a jury, I want to encourage young people to engage in civic life and make a difference in their communities,” Grassley said.
