The purpose of this course is to enhance the student's knowledge of the American adversarial judicial system through in-depth study of trial procedure and evidentiary rules. The primary teaching vehicle is a simulated trial based on the official hypothetical case published by the American Mock Trial Association for the current school year. Cases alternate between criminal and civil cases. The current state of our nation affords us a unique opportunity to explore ways to incorporate digital modalities of jury trials and their impact on our justice system.
