During its 10th session this week, the Lawton Citizens Academy taught residents about how the city court works and what the City Attorney’s Office does at the Public Safety Center — Municipal Judge Nathan Johnson, City Prosecutor Alan Rosenbaum, and Interim City Attorney Timothy Wilson shared their roles.
