This course is a semester long, culminating in the preparatory stage for team participation in the College Mock Trial or the High School Mock Trial Competitions. The course will review the elements of a trial, as well as focus on leadership, team building, and public speaking. The faculty will use simulations to engage students in the various stages of a trial and to introduce students to the techniques used to prepare and conduct trials, including opening statements, direct examinations, cross examinations, closing arguments, and objections.

  Note(s): This course is a prerequisite for PLA 2228  - Trial Practice: Mock Trial Competition II, which will be the actual team competition.
