SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Five judges from Eastern Europe are descending on courthouses in Salt Lake City this week -- but it isn't a United Nations takeover plot.
The Ukrainian judges are learning how the U.S. dispenses justice.
They'll sit in on a federal jury trial -- Ukraine doesn't use juries to decide cases -- and visit a jail.
The judges also will take in a Utah Jazz game and visits to Temple Square and the Utah Olympic Park.
The highest-ranking visitor is Valeriy Danchuk of Ukraine's Supreme Court.
On Tuesday's schedule is lunch with the Salt Lake Rotary Club.
The visit was sponsored by the Washington, D.C.-based Open World Leadership Center.
