He created a program called Justice 101, a reality awareness program that teaches high school students about the judicial system. Since its inception, thousands of high school seniors have come through the program. Judge Link is also involved in developing and chairing various anti-drug, anti-gang and pro-education lectures and forums for middle and high schools.
