Mock Trial

1 Credit

This class interacts closely with Lehigh Mock Trial. Students will begin the year by learning the structure of a typical trial, rules of evidence and methods of persuasive argumentation. As the course develops, students will work to craft a case based on evidence, depositions, and case materials provided by AMTA (The American Mock Trial Association). At the conclusion of the semester, students will, optionally, compete with Lehigh Mock Trial at local tournaments and, eventually, the AMTA regional tournaments.
