Mock Trial

On December 6, Mr. Sergerie's Grade 11 Law class held their "mock trial" in the courtroom of the Westmount Police Station. Old Boys Vincent Prager '59, Jonathan Mechanic '06, and Dylan Jones '03, all practicing lawyers, volunteered to be judge and jury. Staff member Brenda Montgomery was the third juror. The prosecution prevailed, and after the trial, the Old Boys gave feedback to the students.

 

"Mock trials are an incredible learning experience, although somewhat nerve-wracking for students. The students demonstrated an ability to manage their nerves, speak publicly, and "think on their feet.""–Brenda Montgomery, Director of Academic Innovation and Growth
