  • Last years National Champions, Carmel High, take on Palma High for the Regional Finals.
    The Mock Trial Program is an exciting law-related educational program that introduces high school students (grades 9-12) to the American legal system. Mock trials are structured like "real" court trials and follow the same rules. The program pairs students with mentors from the legal community. Through one-on-one interactions with attorney coaches, a student's understanding of the law is greatly enhanced.
    Through role-playing, students gain an understanding of our judicial system--what roles judges, lawyers, juries and witnesses play in the system. Additionally, students develop critical thinking and public speaking skills and a working knowledge of our legal practices and procedures.

    Wow, I watched the entire Trial.
    These young Men and Women really have their acts together and success will follow them throughout their lives. They studied admirably hard and rarely had any faux pas errors.
    Many Bar Licensed Attorneys could learn a thing or two from this Courtroom Mock Trial Presentation.

      @@jimmysmith9395 besides scripted questions, which there’s zero possibility to remember an entire script like that. 🙄
      In the real court of law, you have a discovery. This is the legal requirement of parties to provide obtaining evidence from the opposing party and others by means of discovery devices including requests for answers to interrogatories, requests for production of documents and things, requests for admissions, and depositions.
      Both sides and the judge LEGALLY must be aware of all aspects of the case. While the structure to the argument won’t be, the arguments themselves will be. In jury cases, they even have jury instructions. Everyone is informed. That isn’t a “mock trial” thing.
      This student did an AMAZING job. There was no script he was reading from. There was no memorized questions, while many attorneys generally have an outline they refer to.
      He did an incredibly job. Let him have the credit he deserves.

    These are absolutely amazing. Only thing is 1: don’t ask ‘may I begin your honor’, the judge has already said go ahead and you’re wasting time and most judges get annoyed by that. 2: don’t ask/say “may so&so introduce themselves” may annoy judges.

      @indeedConfirmed 3 роки тому +1

      I’m sorry but ma’am what does professionalism have to do with age? And what does having an intellectual mind have to do with age as well? by you stating that they have minds of a 40 year old, you are indirectly saying that at 40 years old you are automatically declared intelligent, when that’s far from the truth. The intellectualness and compositeness of a persons mind and character has nothing to do with age. That’s why they are so professional. Because that’s how they choose to be, which at any age you hold the capability.
