Ending the Week with Mock Trial (Short Hills Week 6)

This week in Mock Trial, our campers learned all about trials and were able to take part in their own court case on Friday. They were assigned roles such as a witness, defendant, prosecutor, and more.

The campers prepared their questions and evidence in advance in order to be ready for their presentation. When the end of the week arrived, they gave their case to a fake judge and jury made up of International Ivy staff.

The case was focused on a business man, who was on his way to sign a contract worth 3 million dollars. However, he was stopped by TSA as they wrongly accused him to be a terrorist. TSA kept him in security for over 4 hours, causing him to miss the meeting, and leading him to sue TSA.

The campers had an amazing time, as they enjoyed a glimpse of a real life situation involving a lawsuit.
