Description: New to mock trial? Want to learn your way around a courtroom? Wondering if you could be a lawyer, bailiff, or judge someday? Or just wondering how a trial works? Then this is the class for you! This crash course in “Mock Trial” will help you learn the basic structure of a court case and the necessary elements involved. We will dive into a mock case and split into two teams, the prosecution, and the defense as well as other positions within the courtroom. As a lawyer or a witness, you will build a case with your team and then run through a Mock Trial. As a bailiff or judge you would be responsible for maintaining order in the courtroom as well as other duties. This section is for students who are brand-new to mock trial who did not participate in previous years.
