Welcome Jr. Legal Bills!
Court's In Session! The Missouri High School Mock Trial Program is an exciting law-related education program that introduces students to the American legal system and provides a challenging opportunity for personal growth and achievement. Mock trials help students gain a practical understanding of the way the American legal system functions. While learning the details of trial process and procedure, students also develop important lifetime skills: critical analysis of problems, reasoning, listening, oral presentation and extemporaneous argument. Mock trials provide an active learning opportunity for students and require a high level of cooperation among participants.
Mock Trial is sponsored locally by BAMSL (Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis). To Learn More About the Mock Trial Program CLICK HERE.
Mock Trial goes to Conference to learn new Rule Changes!
On November 3rd, the Mock Trial team attended a conference at Webster University to learn about the new changes to the competition manual this year. Since the activity took place during the school day, only the more experienced Mock Trial participants attended, with the hope that they will be able to pass down what they learned to the newer students. Moderator Anne Marie Lodholz said that the conference was a success, and sophomore Robert Hayes commented, "I think the new rule changes are good." Other members of the team agree with him, as one of the changes clarified a rule that caused a problem in a trial against Parkway North last year. After the conference, the Mock Trial team is ready to begin writing scripts this November!
