2018 Mock Trial Finals 

The sheer amount of button fastening amazes me.

Agreed!

This is perfect

What is barred attorney

the questions are staged and its a closed world enviroment. They know each others arguments left and right

Exactly my comment.

@@jimmysmith9395 besides scripted questions, which there’s zero possibility to remember an entire script like that. 🙄 In the real court of law, you have a discovery. This is the legal requirement of parties to provide obtaining evidence from the opposing party and others by means of discovery devices including requests for answers to interrogatories, requests for production of documents and things, requests for admissions, and depositions. Both sides and the judge LEGALLY must be aware of all aspects of the case. While the structure to the argument won’t be, the arguments themselves will be. In jury cases, they even have jury instructions. Everyone is informed. That isn’t a “mock trial” thing. This student did an AMAZING job. There was no script he was reading from. There was no memorized questions, while many attorneys generally have an outline they refer to. He did an incredibly job. Let him have the credit he deserves.

The judges questions genius. The participants didn't ask questions. I'm sure this judge didn't ask for a bench memo at all

Yeah some judge is just gonna hear a bunch of high school kids arguments without being briefed lol. The questions asked by the judge are like directing questions and the cases the bench memo briefed him on had cases he's dealt with millions of times even real life oral argument questions are scripted

He is amazing I've seen his another mock trial as a prosecution side and it was so GOOD

I agree, he talks ‘normally’. He doesn’t sound as monotone as purple tie

Who is the one in yellow tie

yepp HAHAHA

@@user-rd8ux6tq2n 😂 Doctor Mike's video: Med School vs Law School brought me here 🤷‍♀️. Mock trial was mentioned in there and I was like "yeah why not search for it, seems interesting."

@@lynlee6053 dito! After the Video I had to see what a Mock Trial is.

I’m sorry but ma’am what does professionalism have to do with age? And what does having an intellectual mind have to do with age as well? by you stating that they have minds of a 40 year old, you are indirectly saying that at 40 years old you are automatically declared intelligent, when that’s far from the truth. The intellectualness and compositeness of a persons mind and character has nothing to do with age. That’s why they are so professional. Because that’s how they choose to be, which at any age you hold the capability.

@@indeedConfirmed you seem like the person who just like to argue on RU-vid 🤣😂🤣

@@indeedConfirmed bro it's not that serious, Lol.

@@indeedConfirmed calm down bud

Keep it going buddy

Let the naysayers be the fuel to reach your dream. I've been a juror for a civil case and I'm a second year law student here in the U.S.. It's amazing to see how the judicial system works first hand. You won't regret the experience. Best of luck!

read a lot, get familiar with a courtroom. If you can watch a trial at your local courtroom (yes, the public can watch without giving any explanation, you simply show up.) (I am a former paralegal) good luck and reach out if you have questions...

It’s the clearest of all witnesses

Lmao same

@@thegreatfapsby5786 Did you really just try to correct someones grammar, and spell it wrong when they spelled it right? Oh lord......

@@hunterfraser2711 brety shore he wuz joking ;-;

hey how did it go??

Competition season is among us and I hope you make it to Nationals

Wish you many blessing

Having a speech impediment and showing physical signs of physical nervousness has nothing to do with "knowing what you're talking about" and isn't an accurate measure of wether someone comprehends concepts less than another person. Tf is you on?

You don’t like people that wear suits the right way?

That’s what you’re supposed to do Because if you sit down with a buttoned fitted suit you could possibly burst the buttons

Lol so true

Carmel High and Palma High

Meh! Just go to one of those high schools. They seem to be cranking out some pretty sharp minds! 😁

That is why the “interpretation” is subject to cross examination, or rather the interpreter. Third party consultant evaluations are admitted frequently.

Being part of this program is one of the most fun and rewarding things you can do in school. Also, they don’t give much homework! ;)

I had a mock trial in class in the 8th grade. I was the defendants’ lawyer in the accusations that the three individual teens I was defending murdered someone during a robbery. We were somehow able to convince the jury that that one of the victims was the murderer who shot someone... The “no further questions your honor” technique really works.

@@TheCommandant-wb9tv How did you argue it? It seems pretty interesting.

@@AnhNguyen-te8ek It was pretty interesting actually.. I didn’t even know how I managed to pull it off

@@TheCommandant-wb9tv i did a mock trial in 7th grade public safety and i was the prosecutor against three armed robbers that had attempted to murder a store clerk and had killed a dog. i was a really shit prosecutor but one person was found guilty so 🤷

Dun dun

Simone Alexy thank you

@@simonealexy881 SVU vibes

i mean that’s how they’re supposed to address the judge, it’s (in the context of this mock trial) his courtroom and he has earned his way to his position

@@beizbub4795 Oh of course, but do you really say to your friend John "John would you like to go out to eat John"

@@tomato6102 The judge is usually not your friend John.

@@tomato6102 that's how they are supposed to address the judge.

They won the California State Championship and the Empire New York World Championship. Empire is sometimes nicknamed nationals.

@@liviafork Once again, no disrespect, but I've only ever heard of the National High School Mock Trial Championship referred to as "nationals," even by the people who run Empire. Empire is a preseason competition that does refer to itself as the "world championship," so maybe that is what you are thinking of. Carmel is an amazing program, but they weren't the national champions in 2017.

@@darrenallen237 I’m on the Carmel team. For some reason we use Nationals and Worlds interchangeably.

@@darrenallen237 Besides it was probably just a mistake from the network. Our coach wouldn’t mistakenly claim to have won nationals, he knows the difference.

Usually schools and even public schools have kids who want to be lawyers or something in the law mock a trial to give them experience

I had a mock trial in 8th grade with jury. It’s not weird, it’s just good to experience and learn methods about. I was the defendant lawyer for 3 suspects who robbed and shot a man on a bus, which they did do, and was able to use the victims’ own evidence against them lmao. We had like 23 juries and my team of 3 lawyers were able to manipulate the jury to believe that the defendants were no guilty lol. I had no intention on blaming the murder on someone else, but rather an unintentional discharge when the weapon dropped to the ground, but I guess we went the other way instead. “No further questions your honor” is my favorite line.

Oh yea and as for the robbery, we made it seems as like an argument , rather than a robbery, so more of a dispute

yes, but its less rehearsed than it is practiced. you have no idea what the other side is going to say

@@TheCommandant-wb9tv Whoa thats sooo cool.
