Thoroughly enjoyed watching the Mock Trial Finals between Carmel High School and Stevenson School! It's evident that the students poured a significant amount of effort into preparing for their roles, showcasing not just their understanding of legal procedures but also their public speaking skills. While the trial had its Hollywood-esque moments and the portrayals may not fully capture the gravitas seen in real courtrooms, the educational value and entertainment provided were unmistakable. Kudos to all the students involved for their dedication and hard work. It’s clear that such experiences are invaluable in understanding the legal system and developing critical thinking. Well done to everyone involved!
In the 1980s, I taught high school government. When we covered the judiciary, we conducted a mock trial. It was wonderful. I was also the debate coach and cosponsor of the televised whiz quiz team. High school students are capable of so much more than the general public believes. We also formed political parties, conducted elections, wrote bills and resolutions, etc. Students respond well when given creative assignments instead of mundane worksheets and coloring pages.
If I am a defense attorney doing a pretrial motion, do I have to quote other cases? Or does arguing my point suffice... I notice here they have alternate examples of similar cases to back up their standing and opinion.
This Mock Trial competition is held by the Teach Democracy/Constitutional Rights Foundation. They provide a case packet that includes the pretrial arguments both sides should be making, including a set of cases with similar issues for attorneys to reference. You are scored on your use of the cases. Judges will also ask many questions about the cases provided, as the judge does here. So, no, making the argument on its own is not enough. You need to back it up with case law. Not doing so would severely lower your score.
Briefly give a little bit self introduce, I'm law student from a small country that was located as a part of South East Asia., named Timor-Leste. Well I noted that it was very good moment and its normally will always challenge it you, during the process of learning by practice and practice by learning.
just when you think all hope is gone for our youth, these "CHESS PIECES" show up and "checkmate" you! This is a must have class for inner city schools along with learning how to INVEST in financial markets! note to self.
Can someone correct me if I’m wrong.? Was the defendants first argument to have the evidence removed that the actor understood her rights but misled to believe she had no choice but to relinquish them. Would a better argument have been she actually didn’t know her right. Could it not be argued that had she had actually understood her rights and what the cop had said it would’ve been in her best interest to maintain her position and stop the search until the warrant was present? Like she’s an actress. The law is debated amongst professionals everyday. I mean how many people call freedom of speech but don’t really know how to apply it. Saying “I know my rights” dramatically as an actor would is not an accurate declaration if she doesn’t actually know her rights. If she was not explained her rights and asked if she understood, there is no real way of determining. She could be explained the situation and said “oh, I didn’t know that, she didn’t tell me that. If I had know that I wouldn’t have don’t it” and that would disprove there argument against right saying that she declared “I know my rights” out of ignorance and not because she actually understood them or lied. The responsibility should fall more on the officer (knowing the law) to make sure and understand that an Oman that was not in distress understood her rights. The cop could’ve given her space and then came back in and fully explained her rights. The cop was at fault. She had the responsibility to inform, she force the scene to be seen as a threat by blocking the door and she did not submit the forms. If the forms weren’t even getting approved. Fill g out the paperwork without submitting it means nothing to a court. If it stayed in that state she could not accurately claim she would get in them if they liked it or not. Nah wild call throw it out
It’s mind blowing these are high school students. No 1 said that part yet. Impressive
Are you kidding me? They were only in high school? Dang! They did very good
Amazing to watch as a law student it’s very impressive how properly these HIGH SCHOOL students argue and defend their case.
It’s an honor listening to these future attorneys. Absolutely incredible the level of preparation, thinking and effectiveness.

These kids are amazing. I enjoyed watching every moment of this mock trial. They did a great job.
I’m a mental health professional. I wish we did this for counseling at this age level … mock therapy

basically you don't 100% have to quote them but you will be pop quizzed on them throughout the course of the case
❤ no BS. Just honest facts. Our future. Hopefully some of our current court houses and law practitioners can take lessons on stating just the facts.

Can you give me some tips?
Amazing work. I wish my school did these things.
I have my mock trial tomorrow and I'm the bailiff
Was waiting for someone to stand out with a greeting aside from “Good afternoon, your Honor.”
I continued enjoyed watching the way how the keep defense
The closing argument for the prosecution is crazy..
I was reeled in already in the first 10 minutes of this. Great job!!! Wow
A lot of times if judge wants to be unfair he will not make a ruling on the objection, so you have to make the judge make a ruling for the record.
They did great, bravo!
wow they are brilliant ! They are better than some real lawyers ive seen 😂
This is amazing to watch
it feels sooo real. Good job y'all;)
Nice work guys 👌👌👌
Who’s watching from Sojourners
Dang right son
Woot woot! Right here! Watched prosecution last night and finishing defense tonight!
I have a mock trial soon, im not in it, but im excited to witness it!
Where !??
How are y'all doing this in high school?!?! Please let's talk
Amazing!
go Sandia Prep for next year!
Why are there so many leading questions in direct examination
it’s not leading since they r open-ended questions so witnesses are allowed to say anything they want
Guess to ensure that they really know what they are talking about and not pure memorization
Mock trial is simplified.
Nice
Oh am so not ready for this, am cooked
what did he choose

The verdict should have been guilty 😊 loved the prosecution argument.
Is this a real judge or lawyer playing judge
I think it was a real judge
Most times they are lawyers playing judge☺️
