Wagoner and Molnar: How Attorneys Judge Collegiate Mock Trials 42 Speaker & Gavel 2012 How Attorneys Judge Collegiate Mock Trials Ruth R. Wagoner & R. Adam Molnar Abstract In collegiate mock trial competition, practicing attorneys who don’t coach or know the participating schools judge the students' persuasive skill. Fifty-six attorneys were interviewed after they judged collegiate mock trials. They were asked which student behaviors they rewarded, which behaviors they punished, and overall which team presented more effectively. The attorneys' responses were grouped into thematic categories and arranged by priorities. Attorneys were consistent in what they said they valued in student performances. Inter- viewees' answers to the question about overall team performance were compared with the numeric ballots. If global assessment were included, it would change the outcome of a substantial number of trials, which raises the question if such an item would have the same effect on any graded competition.

  • Steps in a Mock Trial
    STEPS IN A MOCK TRIAL 1. The Opening of the Court Either the Clerk of the Court of the judge will call the Court to order. When the judge enters, all the participants should remain standing until the judge is seated. The case will be announced, i.e., "The Court will now hear the case of vs. ." The judge will then ask the attorney for each side if they are ready. A representative of each team will introduce and identify each member of the team and the role each will play. 2. Opening Statement (1) Prosecution (in criminal cases) Plaintiff (in civil cases) The prosecutor in a criminal case (or plaintiff' s attorney in a civil case) summarizes the evidence which will be presented to prove the case. (2) Defendant (in criminal or civil case) The defendant' s attorney in a criminal or civil case summarizes the evidence for the Court which will be presented to rebut the case the prosecution has made. 3. Direct Examination by Plaintiff The prosecutors (plaintiff' s attorneys) conduct the direct examination of its own witnesses. At this time, testimony and other evidence to prove the prosecution' s (plaintiff' s) case will be represented. The purpose of direct examination is to allow the witness to state the facts in support of the case. Note: The attorneys for both sides, on both direct and cross examination, should remember that their only function is to ask questions; attorneys themselves may not testify or give evidence, and they must avoid phrasing questions in a way that might violate this rule.

Eight (8) high schools will be participating in this year’s competition, they include: Dr. Rita Inos High School, Eucon International School, Grace Christian Academy, Marianas Baptist Academy, Marianas High School, Mount Carmel High School, Saipan Southern High School, and Kagman High School. “The speech competition gives CNMI high school students the opportunity to conduct research on the topic provided for by the Attorney General’s office. Students are required to prepare and present their speech that showcases their voice and passion for his or her position on the topic,” says Attorney General Manibusan. This year’s topic focuses on the Insular Cases Doctrine, according to which Congress can choose which portions of the United States Constitution apply to “unincorporated territories,” including the CNMI. The issue presented is broken down into three parts: (1) To what extent does the Insular Cases Doctrine give the citizens of unincorporated territories (the CNMI) flexibility to take into account their unique culture and history? (2) To what extent does the Insular Cases Doctrine create different classes of U.S.
