Mock Trial
-
Mock Trial has many benefits for the student population of the school. Through Mock Trial, students are shown insight into the inner workings of a courtroom. This is extremely important, especially since high school students must make a career choice and the experience may shape their decision. The skills of public speaking, critical thinking, and persuasion are used on a constant basis. The topics of the trial are real-world problems that require deep analysis and knowledge of the law system. For instance, last year’s case is a civil dispute regarding a roller coaster accident, which is based off of a real-life Supreme Court case. To conclude, Sparta would greatly benefit from implementing a Mock Trial. Not only does it provide valuable skills used throughout a student’s lifetime, Mock Trial also allows students to form bonds and create a camaraderie that lasts the entire four years of high school.
