Mock+Trial

Alice will be put on trial for crimes committed against the state.

**Mock Trial Role Descriptions and Rubrics**


 * Jury** will use class prep time to complete readings and questions to answer in order to follow the correct procedure on the day of the trial. Complete the juror biography handout and write a 2-page, double-spaced biography about your character.

During the trial you will take notes to use during jury deliberation. Remember: you and your jury peers will ultimately decide the outcome of the trial--not based on your own ideas or knowledge of the story, but on the facts presented by the attorneys and witnesses.


 * Witnesses** will use class prep time to talk to lawyers and to understand their role in the case. Complete the expert witness biography handout. Include a description of incidents and facts connected to your character as part of your biography form. You should document any correspondence, interactions, or facts about your character relating to the trial. ALL information should be based on the version of "Alice in Wonderland" read in class.

__Witness roles for the trial:__ //Caterpillar// //Hatter// //Rabbit// //Duchess// //Queen// //Door Mouse//




 * Attorneys** should use class prep time to identify witnesses, to depose witnesses, and to determine the order in which they will be called to testify (prosecution/plaintiff). You will write opening/closing statements, facts of the case, evidence to use, and witnesses to be called. Your argument should be composed in a well-written essay.
