Mock Trial is a unique

The mock trial was a great an overall a great experience, I truly did enjoy it. In my opinion, everything went well, first of all, everyone was respectful and patient.This was my first time doing any time of trial so at first, I was nervous but the atmosphere the room was calm which helped me feel better. Everyone hard work and preparation for the trail truly stood out as both sides had amazing opening and closing statements.The prosecutor's all had questions that were specific and with a purpose

For the mock trial I was assigned to be one of the prosecuting attorneys. After being presented with case materials which included facts of the case, statements from both prosecuting and defense witnesses, penal code for the alleged charges, and map of the crime scene, we as a group decided to create one Google Drive document. There we would upload our parts of the case and help other group members with their assignments. In the first day prosecuting attorneys were assigned witnesses for direct

After being a part of the mock trial, I think that the verdict was not the right one because even though Leah and Jared harmed Ms. Cullen’s reputation, they were not charged for it. Telling from Scratchy, Mona, and Jock the teacher’s evidence, I can support that Leah and Jared harmed Ms. Cullen’s reputation. They all think that her reputation was broken due to the blog that Leah and Jared created on Facebook and what the kids from the school said about her. The trial was fair to Leah and Jared because

Mock Trial Self-reflection I have done mock trials and mock hearings in my other courses, but the mock trial in advocacy was more extensive. In my previous courses, I had learned how to fill out forms and the basic steps in a trial but did not have the chance to be involved in the entire process from beginning to end. In my self-reflection, I will discuss what I think my group did correct, and what I think needs to be improved on for when I go out into the working field. My group was working

In the mock trial for my cohort I would’ve enjoyed the role of the witness for the plaintiff, T. J. Walker, but instead decided I would suit best in the jury. I decided this after weighing multiple factors. Foremost, I will not be available the day of the mock trial because I will be attending a graduation. Also, after researching I recognized that the jury includes multiple people and requires attentive listening. (American Bar Association) I have noticed from experience that I feel more comfortable

our Mock Trials (in-person or pre-recorded), and believe the best way to obtain an accurate read of how jurors perceive a case is to present a mini-trial in front of them. In this format, we generally follow the typical order of a trial. We begin with opening statements and conclude with closing arguments and juror deliberations. Through our process you will: • Assess case strengths and weaknesses, from the juror’s prospective. • Uncover specific issues that need to be addressed in trial preparation

Focus Group implementation is the first step in understanding the juror’s reactions to the causes of action, the defenses, and the themes of the case. Focus Groups are very helpful if they are implemented in stages throughout the course of trial preparation, and will reveal what the jurors perceive as the hot-button issues of the case. Due to the complexity of this case, we recommend that a series of small Focus Groups (two to four) be implemented in and around the targeted jurisdiction

Antigone Mock Trial Antigone: Charged with treason against The State and contempt What if Antigone had been given a fair trial with a jury of her peers? Would they have condemned her still? You get to be the prosecution & defense in determining a fair fate for Antigone.

achieve the woman’s right to voice their opinions and stand up for what they believed needed to change and happen around them (“Heritage Minute,” 2010). Nellie and other women did everything in their power from peaceful protests, hard labour and mock trials to receive these rights. This is something our history hold very close, this is important because it encouraged the woman to take a stand and reach
