written by Barb Clawson

To provide students with a simulation of what happens in a real court situation, they will be preparing for a mock trial in each class.  This will be a semi-scripted trial with ALL students taking part.  If a student is not the judge, a defence/prosecution attorney, defendant, bailiff, or witness, s/he will be part of the jury. 

The trial will be about whether or not Scott Free broke into a high school and stole items from it.  The outcome of this trial will be based on how well the defense/prosection builds a case for/against the defendant.  In the past, there has been both innnocent and guilty verdicts reached.
