Tennessee State University is in conjunction with the John Marshall School of Law and they will be orchestrating a Mock Trial Competition Feburary 17-18, 2012 at the University.
As part of the law school’s long-standing commitment to access and opportunity to an excellent education, the Undergraduate Diversity Mock Trial Competitions were established to encourage interest in the law among diverse undergraduate students. According to attorney Robert Smith, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice, student participants will have the opportunity to conduct significant aspects of a full trial in a courtroom setting and experience how the law is practiced and applied. “The competition will familiarize students with the concepts of trials (including direct and cross examinations), evidentiary issues, and opening and closing statements.” said Dr. Smith. “This will also help students become better citizens and advocates for our legal system.” The competition has grown each year and is open to all students at the University, not just Pre-Law students. Don't miss out on this awesome opportunity!
