In late June, Erie County Assistant District Attorney Erin Connelly presented an overview of criminal law procedures to students in EBC's Legal Procedures class. As part of her presentation, Attorney Connelly walked students through the criminal law process from arrest to trial to sentencing and provided informative handouts to clarify her points. She also discussed her assignment to sexual assault and domestic violence cases and described how difficult dealing with these types of crimes can be, particularly when they involve children.

Legal Procedures student Kayti Hannah commented on the value of the presentation, saying, "It's great for students to hear how what they learn every day in the classroom is applied in the working world." Her classmate, Heather Cornwell, was equally receptive to the presentation. "Our instructor is an excellent teacher, and by bringing in Attorney Connelly, Mrs. Delio shows that she cares about our education," Heather said. "I was very impressed with Attorney Connelly's knowledge and enthusiasm for what she does."

Attorney Connelly has volunteered to return to EBC to speak to future classes, and she also invited students to visit the Erie County Court House during trial term to observe a trial.
