	Justice System - Hold a mock trial
		Good mock trials will also leave student participants with an appreciation of the difficulties that judges, lawyers and juries face in attempting to present all relevant facts and legal arguments and insure the just resolution of the issues involved.
		Other mock trial formats range from free-wheeling activities where rules are created by the student participants (sometimes on the spot) and no scripts are used, to serious attempts to simulate the trial process based on simplified rules of evidence and procedure to dramatic reenactments of historical trials in which scripts are heavily relied upon.
		Since the mock trial is a common frame of reference, the resource person has a natural vehicle for expressing ideas and observations, and students should be better able to grasp the points that are being discussed.

		Mock trials are an extension of focus groups in that they are also qualitative in nature but the difference lies in the quantity of information presented and the methodology.
		As in focus group research, the mock jurors are then given actual jury instructions and are instructed to deliberate on the issues and reach a verdict.
		Mock trials are normally conducted much closer to the actual trial date so that the trial team is able to "test" their actual openings and closings arguments, and witnesses are given an opportunity to prepare for their actual testimony prior to being in front of the actual jury.
