Thanks Sophie. 1 volunteer judge needed for a mock trial this Sat with 7 state schools (who have worked hard since Sept) will attend a crown court; play all roles from ushers to barristers. Pupils, solicitors, barristers, judges (inc non criminal practitioners) - all welcome!

HELP REQUIRED - @YoungCitizensUK is looking for one individual to judge this Saturday 9th December at the Bar Mock Trial event taking place at Southampton Crown Court. The day is 9.15am-4.15pm with lunch included. If you can assist or want to ask more please drop me a DM!

[Akasa Pradhan @apradhan26]

We will provide lunches and all support/guidance needed for the day. Judges tend to really enjoy the day themselves - please DM or email me at [email protected] if you're available on Saturday! Thank you

Special shout out to Georgia (Mock trial alumna) who not only has come back to volunteer for us but also supported the team before Christmas who is back to chair the event today ⚖️🌟

Read our guest blog by barrister @evesrobinson explaining how her participation at the age of 13 in the Mock Trial Competition sparked her journey to a career at the Bar. The compeition was first started in 1989 and is now organised by @YoungCitizensUK

It was taking part in this competition at school, and subsequently helping the years below me during theirs, which set me on my path to becoming a Barrister. An invaluable experience, which I could not recommend more. Long may it continue👏🏻

[Akasa Pradhan @apradhan26]

Hasn't quite sunk in that we're back at the RCJ this year after a pandemic hiatus.

The team are geared up to host over 370 young people from all over the country on Saturday! We can't wait to see them taking part in the Bar #MockTrials National Final.

[Young Citizens @YoungCitizensUK]

It's fitting that, as #TheBigLegalLesson comes to a close this Friday, the National Final of the Bar #MockTrials begins ⚖️

22 schools from across the UK will be going head at the Royal Courts of Justice this Saturday. Good luck to all teams! And stay tuned for live tweets 🔴

It has been exciting and rewarding to develop and launch #CourtInAction for young people in Devon and Cornwall this year. The project has allowed us to facilitate meaningful interactions with schools and the CJS while supporting teachers to deliver #PLE effectively in classrooms.

“The education system should do more to develop young people’s knowledge of the justice system."

Thanks to Sir Brian Leveson, ex-Head of #CriminalJustice, for backing our new programme with @DC_PCC, Court in Action ⚖️
