Stetson Young Scholars Mock Trial Camp (Week 1)

This website uses resources that are being blocked by your network. Contact your network administrator for more information.

Join us for an exciting week dedicated to learning about trials in the United States and developing your trial, debate and speaking skills!

Students will learn about criminal procedure through a mock trial during their week on campus. Students will learn about pre-trial discovery, pre-trial motions, and the effect of party pre-trial stipulations as well. Students will learn how to use the Federal Evidence Code and presentation skills to learn how to make a good opening statement. They will learn the art of direct and cross-examination (including entering evidence) and then finally how to create a strong closing argument that will give them the best chance of winning over the minds of their judge(s). They will learn all these things primarily through their own experience (by doing them).

These camps are intensely academic. Students will be working with a retired lawyer and student leaders/educators from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. every day, with follow-up work in the evenings. Time will be structured up until a designated hour for lights-out, and students will be expected to remain on campus and follow a code of conduct while participating. The course cap for this camp is 15 students.

This camp will cost $1,000 per student. A $500 non-refundable registration fee is required at the time of registration. Payment is due in full 6 weeks prior to the event. Failure to pay in full by the deadline will result in the cancellation of your registration. Please be sure of your registration before registering.
