Government Classes Hold Court Sandra Clutts Eunice Gilchrist ' s government classes once again participated in mock trials. An alleged murder and a high school robbery set the scenes, as students acted out the judicial system. They dressed up, assuming fictitious names and roles as lawyers, witnesses, jury members, bailiffs, and judges. For a week, witnesses and lawyers learned their parts and prepared to testify or present their cases. Based on evidence obtained in the trial, jury members determined whether to acquit the defendants or find them guilty. Since trial scripts were designed to have no right or wrong answer, classes had no limits on their approach to the case. Jury member Mel Lemane commented, Mock trials helped us understand what court was like. It gave us a chance to learn about our judicial system as well. State tournaments were prepared for a little differently. At this competition the student lawyer had to be prepared to defend either side of a case. Participants who competed in the state contest attended a workshop December 13 at the Dallas County. For the first time, MacArthur competed against Irving, with the winner advan- cing to regionals.
