Judge Jimmie Edwards

 

The St. Louis Business Journal has an interesting feature called St. Louis Characters. The series goes in-depth to profile St. Louisans with unusual jobs or unique ideas.

The paper's latest "character" is Judge Jimmie Edwards. Like a lot of other media, the Business Journal is fascinated with Judge Edwards' commitment to educating troubled teens who, for whatever reason, have failed in traditional public schools. 

For those who have dropped out or been kicked out of school the Innovative Concept Academy offers a last chance to turn their lives around. The Academy came together with astonishing speed, going from concept to reality in just a few short months. Today it is home to 350 students who would be on the fast track to nowhere without it.
