  • Bar Mock Trial Competition 2017/18 Student Role Guide: Barrister England, Wales and Northern Ireland Bar Mock Trials Competition Student Role Guide: Barrister
    Bar Mock Trial Competition 2017/18 Student Role Guide: Barrister England, Wales and Northern Ireland Bar Mock Trials Competition Student Role Guide: Barrister Introduction In any trial, two students from your team will play the role of prosecution or defence barristers. The work must be shared equally and each barrister should deliver: A speech (opening or closing); An examination-in-chief of a friendly witness; A cross-examination of an opposition witness. Role of the Prosecution The Prosecution represents the Crown and presents the case on their behalf. It is their job to ensure that the correct verdict is reached. Burden of Proof It is for the prosecution to prove the defendant’s guilt to the jury. The defendant does not have to prove his/her innocence. Beyond Reasonable Doubt This is the standard of proof required by the prosecution and it is a very high one. This means that no other logical explanation can be derived from the facts except that the defendant committed the crime. The prosecution must prove to the jury the defendant’s guilt so that they cannot reach any verdict other than guilty. If they are not completely sure, the jury must acquit the defendant. Role of the Defence The Defence represents the defendant and must stick to their version of events. Their job is to undermine the prosecution’s case and create reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury as to the defendant’s guilt. Rules for the competition The barristers must share the work equally between them; No objections can be made; There are no re-examinations of witnesses; Never give your opinion; Do not read from scripts or speak from a memorised script; Stick within the time limits; Do not introduce new evidence.
