Bar Mock Trial Competition
A team of Year 1 and Year 2 students are given the opportunity to compete against other local schools and colleges in the Bar Mock Trial competition. Students are given the facts of two cases and have to prepare legal arguments to present in the competition. All students are given a different role to play in the competition including barristers, witnesses, jurors and a court clerk. This is a great opportunity for all students considering a career in the legal profession and a good way to develop the skills needed for the workplace.
Trips to Local and National Courts
Law students have the opportunity to study to visit local courts, such as Hanley Crown Court to gain an insight into how legal proceedings work as they can sit in the public gallery and observe a trial. Students also have the chance to visit national courts such as the Royal Courts of Justice and the Supreme Court in London.
