The
Courtroom Journalist Contest allows students to experience a courtroom
setting from the perspective of a news reporter and learn about the
American legal system from actual judges and attorneys. Through the
voice of a newspaper reporter reporting on a criminal case, students
observe and report on their schools mock trials. Student's have 24 hours
to submit an article depicting the courtroom drama. For more information
