What can I expect during a Journey Through Justice?

The students will first have a law lesson taught by an experienced attorney or teacher. At the end of the law lesson, the students are given a “bar exam,” which may be either oral or written; of course, everyone passes and receives an Honorary Attorney for the Day certificate, personalized with their name.

The students break for lunch. During lunch, the students selected for speaking roles in the mock trial are given their scripts to review.

After lunch, the students go to our fully functioning courtroom, where they put on a scripted mock trial. Students who do not have speaking roles serve as jurors.

The students then tour our Museum of Law and watch a 12-minute film called “Reel Justice.”

If your group cannot stay for the entire four-hour program, the Law-Related Education staff will decide which portion(s) of the tour to shorten or eliminate.
