What’s Happening?
On Friday 24th October, you’ll be part of an interactive, courtroom drama where you, along with your peers, will decide the outcome of a gripping case. This Law Student for a Day experience provides you with the knowledge you require to participate in a mock trial that involves a tragic series of events that led to the death of Juniper Rose, a young woman who witnessed a jewellery store burglary. You’ll attend lectures on key areas of Criminal Law, see the evidence gathered, hear evidence, listen to witness testimonies, and engage in deliberations just like a real jury.
Why Attend?
- Get Inside the Irish Criminal Justice System: Understand how the courts work, what goes into making a fair judgment, and how important the role of a juror is in the justice system.
- Develop Critical Thinking: Weigh evidence, consider different perspectives, and make decisions that could change lives. This is your chance to test your analytical and reasoning skills in a real-world scenario.
- Experience the Drama: This isn't just a mock trial; it's an opportunity to be part of a courtroom experience.
