‘Mock Trial’ at SWU raises legal awareness

‘Mock Trial’ at SWU raises legal awareness

    11.10.15 | Student Life Community Business

    A classroom became a courtroom as Southern Wesleyan University students gained insight into the legal system and how it works.

    District 3 State Rep. Gary Clary of Pickens County took on the role of judge for a “mock trial” in which students played roles that included plaintiff and defense attorneys, jurors, witnesses, plaintiffs and defendants. Two of the students commented later on that the mock trial provided a “real-life learning experience.”

     The exercise, a fictitious court case, was part of a business law class. Clary, who is a retired judge, commented that the students were well prepared and did a good job.
