Four local high schools will be at the Woodstock Court House today for some hands on experience through mock trials.
WOODSTOCK - You Want the Truth... You can't handle the Truth!
Students from four local high schools will be competing in mock trials today. About 150 grade 11 and 12 law students from CASS, WCI, Huron Park, and St. Mary's are at the Woodstock Court House today. St Mary's Law teacher James Delodder tells Heart FM legal teams of 6-8 students have been given mock cases that will be heard this morning.
"They vary in terms of charges, trafficking, assault, first degree murder, second degree murder, firearms and weapons charges."
The adjudication will be done by a local lawyer who has volunteered their time and a local member of the judiciary in Oxford County. Delodder says the students are really excited.
"I think the mock trial is really the highlight of the law course for students in Woodstock, they get a chance to take what they learn, go to a courthouse, apply it in a real life situation in front of actual people who work in the court system and they argue against other schools. So it is very exiting and the students are looking forward to it."
