HHS Civics classes completed their final projects in the parish courtroom. They learned firsthand all about the judicial system by demonstrating a mock trial. In both classes, the prosecution teams received guilty verdicts. Students use national cases but students get the freedom to make changes as they see fit. The jury doesn’t have to get the same outcome as the original trial. Their verdict is completely dependent upon what is presented in court during the mock trial.
