 DISCOVER
LAW & THE COURTROOM
Learn
the law at DISCOVER LAW & THE COURTROOM.
Ready to explore the law and fight
for justice? In Discover Law & the
Courtroom, you’ll explore various
facets of the American legal system,
and delve into criminal & civil
law with practicing attorneys and law
professors as your mentors. Once engaged
with the subject matter, you’ll
put it into practice by considering
ethical issues, crafting oral arguments,
and questioning “witnesses.” The
law will come to life when you attend
lectures and roundtable sessions with
prominent lawyers, judges, and law-enforcement
experts, and hear first hand how the
law affects our lives everyday.
Present
your own case to the court.
T here’s nothing so exhilarating
as arguing a case or cross-examining
a key witness, especially when you do
it in an actual courtroom before real
law professors and your peers. In our
simulation scenarios, students act as
either prosecutors or defense attorneys
in trial simulations endorsed by the
American Mock Trial Association. While
you’re cross-examining a witness
or making a closing argument, you’ll
be learning how to think on your feet,
argue persuasively, and respond to questions.
Learn how to analyze evidence, prepare
witnesses for trial, and answer questions
from a judge. Win your first care at
Discover Law & the Courtroom and
the real courtroom won’t be far
ahead.
