January 19, 2000
The Dade County Bar Association's Young Lawyers Section (DCBA-YLS)
will conduct a "mock trial" from 8:30-10:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 20,
at Miami Senior High School, 2450 S.W. First St.
Designed to teach students about their constitutional rights and
other principals of law, the program will utilize exhibits and
testimony from an actual case prosecuted by former Assistant Dade
Attorney Mark Eiglarsh, who cochairs the DCBA-YLS's School Committee.
"This program allows high school students to gain a realistic sense
of what it feels like to participate in a trial," said Eiglarsh.
Students will take on the roles of judge, jury, prosecution, defense,
clerks, bailiff, and defendant. Audience members will be able to ask
questions and give their opinions about the trial.
For further information, contact Erica Wright, of the DCBA-YLS, at
305-856-7069.
