MOOT COURT INTEREST MEETING AND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Post date: Feb 09, 2015 6:2:23 PM

THE PLSA will hold an interest meeting on Thursday, February 12, 2015 at 11:30 AM in the History & Political Science Department (DS 139). We are seeking students who wish to take part in the 2015 Moot Court (Mock Trial) Experience at the Academic Festival (on April 15th). We are in need of students to serve as lawyers and witnesses.  All majors are welcome!  Moot Court is a great opportunity to meet and collaborate with other students and practice your oral and advocacy skills.  This year's case is a criminal matter involving the shooting (non-fatal) of an unarmed young person by a security/police officer. The presentation of the case at Academic Festival will be followed by a talk-back session where we can discuss the verdict and contemporary issues related to police shootings of civilians.
