| From Classbrain.com Mock Trial Claim Your Jurisdiction Game This is an in-class game designed to give students an understanding of the court system. This particular curriculum is based on the Washington State Court system. Students will play a game after they learn more about state and federal courts. They'll spend two days researching and then presenting a five-minute seminar on a specific court. Once all of the research and presentations are complete, students play a game in which they try to decide whether or not their assigned court has jurisdiction to hear a particuluar case. Teams receive points for correctly claiming jurisdiction. This game is designed to accomodate eight teams. Source: Washington State Courts © Copyright 2004 by Classbrain.com |
