Jan Sayers and her Mercer Island High School Business Law class visited the King County Courthouse on Jan. 5.

During their visit, they had the opportunity to stop by Superior Court Judge Sean O’Donnell’s courtroom and observe a trial in progress, as well as Council Chambers, where they participated in a question-and-answer session about local government with Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer and King County Sheriff John Urquhart.
