...us with explanations as to how or why jurors sometimes react in a certain way when presented with different scenarios in the trials. A strength of this type of research is that it presents useful evidence which aids the government with ideas as to how to manipulate the trials so that both sides get a fair trial. For example in the study of Loftus into expert testimony it was found that if it was used in a trial, it was likely to arise more doubts about the defendant’s guilt for the jurors, so Loftus stated that if both sides use an expert it may lead to a battle of experts and as a result jurors may be confounded even more. It can therefore be seen how expert testimony should not be used often and by both sides, something which potentially trials can put into practice. Another strength of this type of research is that it’s generally quite cheap to carry out, as it usually uses self-reports to obtain results, so many can be carried out and thus vast amounts of data can be collected. This means we can apply these results to the area that we are investigating, in this case persuading a jury. On the other hand, all of the research that has been carried out into persuading a jury has been based on mock trials. For example in the Pennington & Hastie study 130 students listened to tape recordings of a mock trial, and although mock trials may resemble real trials, they are not the real thing which means the methodology lacks ecological validity as the settings are usually lab experiments...

...Oscar Wilde once quoted that, “I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect”. It’s easier to fight a known war than it is to win an unknown battle. Forgiveness and being passive is the sharpest weapon of all. My mock trial team at my school is my second family and whoever disrespects them disrespects me, directly and indirectly. Mock Trial is an act or imitation trial. It is similar to a moot court, but mock trials simulate lower-court trials, while moot court simulates appellate court hearings. Attorneys preparing for a real trial might use a mock trial consisting of volunteers as role players to test theories or experiment with each other. For the past four years, the school’s mock trial team...

...I live and breathe mock trial! By dedicating upwards of twenty hours a week to understanding the characters and case, I am a better public speaker, quicker thinker and leader because of mock trial. I thrive on the verbal boxing match, testing my wits with every cross and direct examination. Each trial, I advocate for people and tell their story.

New York City is the perfect place for someone who enjoys the arts, law, personal rights, diversity and engaged learning. Attending events in New York will broaden my mind and exercise my knowledge of psychology, neuroscience, and the justice system. I will use my heart to speak up for causes that impact people, looking for disparities and places to...

...in enrolling in the Law and Justice Academy because as I grew older I found myself loving the idea of becoming a lawyer. More specifically a criminal defense lawyer. I remember being in the fourth and fifth grade staying up and watching tv shows like Criminal Minds and Law and Order. That is how my interest in the Criminal Justice field grew. Between the end of the fifth grade and the beginning of the sixth, I knew that I wanted to be a Criminal Defense Lawyer, and I am determined to become one. I believe that being a part of the Law and Justice Academy would help me reach that goal. By being in the Law and Justice Academy I would gain experience from some of the activities and classes provided to the academy. Such as the mock trial and internships that are done during the summer seminars. By doing the mock trial I will get an idea of how a trial is conducted in an actual courtroom. For the internship, I would like to get one in a Criminal Defense Lawyer's office because I would gain insight into a lawyer's job. Not only do I want to be a part of the Law and Justice Academy and its activities that would benefit in becoming a Lawyer but I also look forward to the other things I would learn from the academy. For instance,...

...Appendix B discusses a mock trial case concerning whether an employee’s readjustment of their property tax assessment was a deliberate or unintentional act. Each witness in the case provides substantial evidence confirming a breach in protocol by the appellant, Wilson Worker. However, there is no evidence to accurately assess the appellant’s argument, in regards to whether his policy violation was an inadvertent mishap vs. a blatant attempt to exploit the system. In my experience, a disciplinary board supplements a criminal hearing when a company doesn’t have the capacity or the evidence to elect for prosecution of a member. As this mock trial, lacks legal guidance often associated with board hearings (i.e., documentation that provides legal definitions, guidance on what constitutes a breach in protocol, and qualifications for retention), I will base my recommendations on the available facts to provide the most appropriate course of action. The Facts vs. Uncertainty The trial introduces four testimonies, Estimate Value, Guy Noir, Wilson Worker, and the written statement of Tom Tenure. As each testimony dabbles into the...

...Speed Dating Techniques in Mock Interviews: Lessons to be Learned Sofia Vidalis, Ph.D. and Joseph J. Cecere, Ph.D., CPC Penn State Harrisburg Abstract A student seeking that professional position or practical summer experience has become enormous in their educational experience. A university provides the information and skills for the student so they can be successful in their job search. This may include resume preparation and cover letters towards the next step, the job interview. A mock interview is one way to prepare students for an actual employment interview. It allows students to gain experience and practice in answering questions similar to ones asked during an actual interview. It also helps students become more comfortable in the interview setting. Despite of the importance of mock interviews, most college students do not have that experience until their first job interview during a career fair, internship, or even after graduation. However, in today’s economic, interview preparation may be the determining factor to securing employment. One way in breaking the ice of interviewing jitters is to prepare the students in advance. The Civil Engineering/Structural Design and Construction Engineering Technology program at Penn State University held a Mock Interview and Panel Discussion event to help students better prepare for an interview as realistic as possible. This was accomplished by inviting professionals from the industry from the construction management and engineering...

...trip to Washington, DC, I was visiting a cousin, the Honorable Bruce Mencher, at the District of Columbia Superior Court. Judge Mencher had invited us to attend this trial. Having never been in a courthouse before, I had minimal knowledge of the American Justice System. I considered our Bill of Rights and its guarantee that a lawyer would be appointed were the defendant unable to afford one. I didn’t understand why an attorney wasn’t present. I was concerned; he needed a professional to have his voice heard. Although I did not know the specifics of the case, I had innumerable questions. Why was he speaking for himself? Had he opted to do so? Would jurors listen with objectivity or be swayed by the handcuffs and government-issued jumpsuit? Reflecting on the case today, I recognize our justice system as unique in its declaration that we are “innocent until proven guilty.” Yet in high profile cases, the public and the media often malign the accused before the case begins. I worry that “guilty until proven innocent” may supersede a time-honored declaration. I feel this concern now and felt the same concern then as I watched the perpetrator defend himself. Were those judging this man doing so fairly? The experience of the trial sparked my interest in the government. I joined a mock trial group during freshman year, viewing cases from multiple perspectives. I sat as judge,...

...to the quarterfinals on multiple occasions, but that is where we have stayed. We are always a few points away from making it to the next round which sometimes hurts us as we try to think of what was it that the team needed help on to deliver a better presentation. We have done quite a bit of work with regard to making a cohesive argument; however, there is much that we as a team can do to achieve our goals for the upcoming season. Our main goal is keep on advancing in competition which can only be accomplished with help along the way and Empire would be one of best guidances to have. Our main-team goal is advance to the semifinals and achieve a position that would allow us to reach the state competition. In my three years being in mock trial, we have made it to the round of 8 twice. In the two occasions in which the team has made it to the quarterfinals, we have loss. In both of the losses, we have been off by less than five points to give the better presentation and reach the semifinals. During the offseason and the early stages of the season, the team wants to increase their knowledge in topics that have always given us trouble to make a stronger argument/presentation for the next year competition. The hours imputed and the hard work being done by our coach and team, hopefully will get us to our goal of trying to advance to the semifinals. Addiotionally , we want the work done translating to getting a top three placement which will guarantee a placement in the state competition...

...IRAQ-KUWAIT War Negotiation Style and Frameworks by Steven Roberts A case study that shows how important it is to consider whether or not to accept concessions (nhượng bộ đất đai) by taking a reasonable perspective and framework. | Bottom of Form On a scorching (nắng cháy) summer day in August, 1990, the citizens of Kuwait stared in puzzlement (tình trạng rối bời) at the encroaching (xâm phạm), dusty streams of what appeared to be a pending desert sandstorm, creeping ominously (đáng ngại) towards them from across the forbidding dessert. To their dismay (mất tinh thần) and horror filled eyes, the quaking (kinh hãi) citizenry (toàn thể công dân) had become helpless witnesses to the advancing units of Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi army, relentlessly engaged in the illegal invasion of their homeland. There had been no warning of this pending disaster. Kuwaiti resistance was swept aside much like one casually brushes away a crumb from one’s lapel. (sự kháng cự của Kuwait đã bị đánh bật như phủi sạch hạt bụi trên ve áo) After six days, Hussein declared that he had annexed (thôn tính) Kuwait. The world was stunned (sưungr sốt) by Hussein’s audacity(trơ trẽn táo bạo), and the Middle East became very anxious about what the future may hold for this unsettled region. By August 30, the Arab League, called by President Mubarak of Egypt, attempted to defuse (xoa dịu) this potentially explosive crisis through deft negotiation. (khôn khéo) The Arab League proposed to Hussein that if he would...

...reasonable decisions to solve them. I am currently evaluating an ICT project, in which I designed an automated workbook to calculate rental fees for a boat hire company. This included a range of complex functions and formulas to incorporate numerous variables such as price, period of hire, type of vessel and time of year. In order for me to expand the relevant skills, I have taken part in various activities, such as, successfully competing for an opportunity to do work experience at Allen and Overy, one of the world’s biggest law firms. During my placement I visited Goldman Sachs, one of the world’s biggest investment banks. I found the fast-paced, dynamic environment exciting and I could see myself working there in the future. I also gained knowledge of inter-departmental relationships and how essential it is to communicate as a team. I also visited South Bank University for a mock trial. I wrote the speech for a legal advisor, using relevant terminology appropriately. As a result our team won the trial. The current banking situation illustrates how changeable the financial sector can be and demonstrates that people in the industry need to be able to react and adapt quickly to change. I currently work in retail. I can use my own initiative, in addition to working as a part of a team. I am training in the admin department, which requires me to carry out variance analysis. This involves comparing actual sales figures with targeted sales figures, which I have to analyse and...

...Misrepresentation The vast majority of attorneys do not double as doctors, leaving medicine a grey area among courtroom officials. How can a mentally ill person receive the correct representation if the attorney defending them lacks understanding? Books like the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5 are attorneys and judges only source of direct knowledge of any mental deficits without expert testimonies. The DSM-5 provides criteria for a diagnosis but accepts and acknowledges that there may be unpredictable circumstances (Davis, 2016). A poll taken among 166 prosecutors and 118 defense attorneys, from various cities and counties, shows that 75% of these court room professionals agree the burden of proving mental defect is on the defense attorney...

... I am drawn to forensic science because it allows professionals to track criminals and hold them responsible for their crimes. I have participated in mock trial for the last two years and I enjoy learning about the criminal justice system. In my senior thesis class, I wrote a twenty page paper and did extensive research on Forensic Science. While working on this project I found it interesting how crime lab professionals can put all the pieces of evidence together to catch and convict criminals. For instance, I learned that patterns of blood spatters and the shapes of blood drops tell exactly how a crime was committed. During this time, I interviewed Lieutenant Phil West and he gave me some great information about his job. The idea of putting a puzzle together is extremely thrilling to me. He also told me that he would try his best to make some arrangements so I could watch an autopsy. This report took a lot of hard work but it also gave me an opportunity to realize that this is what I want to study and learn more about. I want to be seen as a Hispanic woman who achieves her goals and is able to make an impact on the world by making it a brighter and safer place. Therefore, I plan to pursue a degree in Criminology and become a criminal investigator or a crime scene examiner. My two years at Lee Vining High School have been such a great experience and I’m extremely grateful that I attended this...
