Take part in this courtroom trial simulation and learn how important our right to a trial by jury is. You’ll play the role of an attorney in a civil case against one of your classmates. You can also play as teams. Bring your best game, because we’re keeping score. Each player or team of players will score points for asking witnesses the correct question or making the right objection.
