Brown: Students should choose school!

Dorothy Brown, clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County, was flanked by hundreds of children and adult marchers at the Bud Billiken Day Parade earlier this month, including a float carrying energetic participants. In keeping with the back-to-school theme of the event, Clerk Brown issued her slogan, "Choose the classroom over the courtroom," as an encouragement to young people to get an education, and avoid getting into the type of trouble that leads to involvement in the juvenile justice system.
