The Collin County Criminal District Attorney's Office is offering residents a chance to participate in their Fall 2025 Citizen Prosecutor Academy. The program promises to provide an inside look at the process of building criminal cases and the pursuit of justice, as described by the DA's office in a recent social media post.
The academy, which is a free 12-week course set to begin on August 28, is a rare opportunity to directly engage with District Attorney Greg Willis and his team. Participants will step inside the courtroom, hear from prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement officers, and witness firsthand the mechanisms of our justice apparatus, from investigation to prosecution. Aiming to make citizens more informed about this vital aspect of governance, the academy has been highly rated by past attendees, as per the Collin County Criminal District Attorney's Office.
However, those interested should be prompt in their actions, as spots are limited and known to fill quickly. Applications for the academy are due by August 4th. To apply, prospective participants can visit the official website of the Collin County DA. The course takes place at the Collin County Courthouse, and there seems to be no better chance for the community's non-legal professionals to gain insight into the complexities of our legal system.
