Wanting to teach the city's high schoolers about the justice system and the consequences of sudden violent actions, Judge Lubbie Harper Jr. returned to his alma mater, Wilbur Cross High School, Thursday for a state Appellate Court session in the school's auditorium. Nearly 200 students from high schools throughout New Haven watched as lawyers argued two cases, one of them a murder conviction, before Harper and two other appellate judges, Chase Rogers and Douglas Lavine. They will issue their rulings at a later date. This was no "mock trial." They were actual cases, which usually would have been argued in the Hartford courthouse. However, Harper and other legal officials are carrying out a program to bring these sessions into the schools.

A 17-year-old female drunken driver struck and killed a 70-year- old woman with emphysema. To prepare for a wrongful death suit brought by the victim's family, a jury consultant was hired to organize focus groups, which yielded surprising results. We found that a lot of people were sympathetic to this young girl, who made a mistake and would have to go around for the rest of her life knowing she killed someone," said Amy Singer, a Hofstra University graduate whose jury consulting firm, Trial Consultants Inc., is based in Gainesville, Fla. "Some people also felt that since the victim was killed instantly, it was an easier death than dying slowly of suffocation.

Mock trial has long been a staple of many Maryland high schools; I'm sure some of you reading this are now recalling the "cases" you argued lo these many years ago. But this weekend, high school students from across the state are going from trial court to appellate court during the inaugural Maryland Invitational Moot Court Tournament on Saturday at the University of Baltimore School of Law.
The first-ever trial between the medical malpractice classes at the University of Baltimore and University of Maryland law schools is "mock" in name only to the participants.

While engaging in learning about rules of evidence, rules of procedure and case law, undergraduate mock trial students must also learn how to effectively communicate their evidence to the fact-finder. In mock trial, as in real courtroom trials in the United States legal system, communication skills and the ability to persuade are essential. This work examines how the art of rhetoric relates to mock trial debate. By applying Aristotle's proofs of logos, pathos and ethos, this article unveils how management of logic, emotional appeal and speaker credibility weigh heavily on the persuasion process in mock trial. It illustrates how poignant Aristotle's proofs are in contemporary undergraduate competition.
