Colorado College Justice Watch Club Launches Two New Projects

Students in the Justice Watch club participate in court watching, where they sit in on sessions in the El Paso County Courthouse, to help keep judges accountable and aid the public’s understanding of what judges in their community are doing.

One of the club’s primary goals is to increase fairness in the judicial system. “Some of us come from a prison abolition angle and see this work as a stepping stone, while others don’t contest the validity of the court system but want to keep judges accountable to the community,” says Emma Fowkes ’24, co-chair of the club.

The club will help with the creation of a legislative report card in collaboration with Citizen’s Project, a local nonprofit organization. The goal of this report card is to provide voters with useful and objective information about judges in retention elections.

To complete this report card, Justice Watch members will work with the Citizen’s Project to use court watching data collected by the club, as well as historical court data obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, that club members will analyze with guidance and help from the Citizen’s Project.

The club is open to all Colorado College students, and no prior knowledge of the court system is required. The club also hopes to bring in guest speakers throughout the semester, such as judges, previously incarcerated people, and public defenders.
