This hands on, fun, participatory learning experience gives students an opportunity to delve into simulated cases and reach a verdict. Open to all levels of skill and experience. "Your Honor, court is in session"!

LUNCH: Students staying for full day or for both morning and afternoon sessions can bring or buy their lunch.  All students will eat lunch on Campus in The Commons, a small food court.
