I recently took a trip to the Multnomah county courthouse in Portland, Oregon. I observed cases in civil matters. I attended the court from 10am to 3pm on Monday February 28th. I observed everything from how cases were being handled and decided. The trip to the courthouse was confusing for a minute because I got lost for a minute, but once there everything went smoothly. When first going into the courthouse I was told to …showed first 75 words of 436 total…

…showed last 75 words of 436 total…really boring place after a while because of all the paperwork that was being done. They had like five minutes of testimony and like twenty minutes of paperwork and made the court process seem like it takes forever. Overall the court system I think works and that it was interesting to see the process from the beginning to end. The court trip was informative and eye opening to what happens when you break the law.
