In the Colonial era, those aspiring to be officers of the court studied under a jurist for around 3 years, as there were no law schools . Patrick Henry completed his apprenticeship in only one year.
Try to meet James Horn, the awesome Vice President. He is responsible for running Colonial Williamsburg and probably knows a ton of cool stuff about it
In Colonial times, the number one crime was nonattendance of church . That’s one way to keep attendance up :)
Sit inside and hear about the old days of litigation. Air conditioned . Found it very interesting.
Knowledgeable staff in wonderful period attire.
If you are going to watch the live court session get here 10-15 minutes early.
Middle of DOG Street. Fun tour !
They tried minor crimes here, and put the guilty in he stocks outside.
It's crazy how they conducted back then

Best site in all of colonial Williamsburg. It’s worth all the hype and wait time. The inside is amazing and the outside is gorgeous. I would suggest that it’s the first stop in colonial Williamsburg. - James C
