The 16th graduation of the phenomenal Orange County Young Adult Court is under way. Congrats to today’s 8 graduates! They are pouring their hearts out, expressing their gratitude for the program that helps first-time felony offenders turn their lives around. ❤️

[Mimi Ko Cruz @mimikocruz]

Together with Prof. @EECauffman, OC Superior Court Judge Maria Hernandez (a @UCIrvine @Social_Ecology alumna) created the OC Young Adult Court & her favorite part of each graduation is when she pardons the graduates’ felonies so they can have a 2nd chance with a clean record.
