What will happen once I request my Journey Through Justice date(s)?

1. You will receive a checklist which you should complete and return to LRE@gabar.org within seven business days. Attached to the checklist will be the list of available law lessons and museum topics, and a copy of these FAQs, which must be initialed in the places indicated. Groups that fail to return the checklist and initialed FAQs within this time frame may have their requested date(s) released to our waiting list.
2. Once you have returned your checklist, you will receive the “Official Confirmation” email containing all of the details for your visit. Your reservation is not final until we send this email.
3. After the Official Confirmation email you will receive a “Mock Trial Speaking Roles” email, containing a list of your mock trial speaking roles for assignment to your strongest readers.
4. You will receive a “Looking Forward to Seeing You at Journey Through Justice!" six weeks before your scheduled tour date. If you are unable to keep your reserved date, you must notify us by reply email or phone within three business days of the date on which the six-week reminder was sent, so that a school on the waiting list will have sufficient time to reserve their bus and complete any other field trip paperwork requirements. If you cancel after this three-business-day window, you will not be allowed to take a Journey Through Justice during the following school year. If you subsequently decide that you still want to come to Journey Through Justice in the current school year, and your previously reserved date (or an alternate date) is available, you may do so; however, this will not affect your placement on the following year's exclusion list.
5. One week before your scheduled tour date, you will receive an “URGENT: Students Names for Journey Through Justice Tour” email if we have not received your list of the names of the attending students as requested in the Official Confirmation email.
6. Three days before your visit, you will receive an "Are You Ready?” email, summarizing our understanding of the details for your tour. You should contact us by email or phone immediately if this email does not match your understanding. If you will not be travelling with your students the day of your tour, please give a copy of the “Are You Ready?” email, these FAQs and the preassigned mock trial roles to the lead teacher who is travelling with the students.

If you do not receive an Official Confirmation or Are You Ready? email, please check your junk or spam folders first before contacting us by email at LRE@gabar.org or telephone at 404-527-8797. You should ensure that the Bar has the name and cell number of a teacher who is physically on the bus with your students, so that we have an accurate point of contact the day of your tour.
