"The students really gained a wealth of firsthand knowledge about the judicial branch and its importance to our system of government. The tour was a wonderful opportunity for them to understand the role of the justices and the key players through the mock oral arguments. The students raved about the experience of sitting in the justices' chairs and role-playing as judges, attorneys, the marshal and the clerk. This experience will be something that they will remember for years to come!" - Beverly Gordon, teacher |

THE MOCK ORAL ARGUMENT EXPERIENCEThe Mock Oral Argument Experience is a volunteer-led program that allows students to act out an oral argument using a hypothetical case. Students have the opportunity to be justices, attorneys, the Clerk and the Marshal. Mock Oral Arguments can be conducted in 60 minutes but will require teachers to conduct preliminary class work prior to arrival. It is preferred that groups allow 90 minutes for a Mock Oral Argument Tour. The cases are chosen from a variety of topics.
MOCK ORAL ARGUMENT CASES:There are 15 possible cases available for tour groups to utilize in their Mock Oral Argument. Case materials for these cases are presented below in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format, courtesy of The Florida Law Related Education Association, Inc.
