With the ongoing pandemic, many in-person activities have been moved to a virtual format. One of those activities is court. The Murray State mock trial team got a taste of virtual court in their most recent tournament.
The mock trial team participated in a tournament of around eight schools and competed against four of them on Feb. 27 and Feb. 28.
Mock trial is an imitation of a court trial. It gives participants a play-by-play of how a court trial moves and operates and participants take on roles such as plaintiff, defendant and attorneys.
For Murray State, mock trial is both a class and a club taught and led by Associate Professor of political science Paul Foote.
