One of my favorite academic activity: Mock Trial!

Fun picture of KMLA mock trial club!

Recently, I have started learning mock trial in KMLA mock trial club! It has been fun and I am learning a lot from this activity such as improving English speech skills and logic.

So today, I am going to post about mock trial briefly!


1. What is mock trial?
A mock trial is an act or imitation trial. It is similar to a moot court, but mock trials simulate lower-court trials, while moot court simulates appellate court hearings. Attorneys preparing for a real trial might use a mock trial consisting of volunteers as role players to test theories or experiment with each other. Mock trial is also the name of an extracurricular program in which students participate in rehearsed trials to learn about the legal system in a competitive manner. Interscholastic mock trials take place on all levels including primary school, middle school, high school, college, and law school. Mock trial is often taught in conjunction with a course in Trial Advocacy. (from wikipedia)

2. Competitions 
     In korea there is KMTA competition. If I do well in this competition and your team rank high, we can go out to international competition in Guam.

Guam has been hosting the Asia-Pacific Invitational Mock Trial Competition annually. In 2011 and 2012, there were 14 teams from Guam, South Korea, and Saipan in its 4th annual competition. The competition was held at the Superior Court of Guam. The teams made up of mostly junior and senior students from high schools. The Champion for 4th Annual Asia-Pacific Invitational Mock Trial Competition was Marianas Baptist Academy of Saipan. (from wikipedia)

I hope I also go out to this competition and do an outstanding job. I know it will not be an easy job, but I will learn a lot from 17th wavers and develop myself.

Thanks for reading my short post! 
Next time, I will also upload some mock trial videos!
