School Play, February 7-9 - See How They Run

Mock Trials at Cudahy High School
Mock trials, a judge, a jury, some fun, and a lot of learning.
This is what happens in Kevin Jones' Business Law class at the Cudahy High School. The semester-long class gives students first-hand knowledge of law and what happens in a courtroom. The students perform all the roles in a courtroom: judges, attorneys, witnesses, jury, bailiff, and court reporters. Each student does research prior to the trial. After the trial concludes and the verdict is announced, the class evaluates what was done well and what could have been done better. The students seem to enjoy this class - some even dressing for the part (suits and briefcases)!
"It's a fun, hands-on way for students to learn about our judicial system," Kevin Jones said. "This includes the sequence of a trial, the differences between a criminal and civil trial, and the various roles of those involved in many trials."
