This special project built on an established relationship between the Inn and a local middle school. After several years of coaching and using scripted mock trials, the Inn developed this project to feature an original mock trial based on a real case. To give students a better appreciation of how the law might affect them, the scenario involved a minor who committed a series of burglaries. Students acted as jurors, trial clerks, bailiffs, judges and attorneys. The audio/visual class at the school filmed the mock trial and is creating a documentary based on the experience.
