This group of resources is collected for teachers who would like to try Mock Trial as a strategy in the Classroom. Mock Trial and these strategies/resources can be customized for Elementary through High School classes. Please feel free to download them and alter them for use in your classroom. We teach many of these strategies in our We the Jury workshops. If you would like more information about We the Jury or would like us to come do a Mock Trial training at your school, please contact Chris Parrucci.
*PDF versions are available of each so you can see intended formatting in case the Word versions appear altered when you download them.
