In this 4-day Camp version of Criminal Law Mock Trials: Middle School, students will learn the elements of crime, the role of prosecution & defence in a criminal trial, and then apply everything by playing roles in our online mock trials.
Class experience
US Grade 5 - 8
This is the perfect class for Middle School students who want a quick introduction to the study of Criminal Law and want to practice what they learn in discussions, case analyses, and mock trials. Learners in this class must be in the proper age range of 12 - 14 years old. Students not in this range will be transferred to a class with the appropriate age range. The first two classes will focus on the fundamental elements of law, crime and how criminal acts are prosecuted in a court of law. ...
Students will understand the key elements of criminal law, the courtroom, and the prosecution of crimes. Students will be able to apply these concepts of criminal law in regular discussions of real cases and in the roles they play in our online mock trials.
I have taught Junior and Senior Law classes in High School and coached debate teams for over 10 years as a certified teacher of Social Studies. During that time, I have gained a confident understanding of the fundamental concepts of law as well as the best ways to simplify and clarify those concepts in a way that students can easily grasp.

"Case Briefs" will be provided for each of the mock trials outlining the crime, the charges as well as the information required to perform the roles.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Some case examples in the discussion may deal with violent or socially unacceptable situations which are in keeping with the nature of the class subject of crime. The teacher will always aim to be sensitive and avoid any too realistic or overly detailed descriptions of these crimes.
