Classroom Activities/Methods: Evaluation: Assignments:
Law students need training on how to develop effective lesson plans. The purpose of the lesson plan is to assist law students in focusing their classroom presentations on the topics most beneficial to their students. A student armed with a thoughtful, creative lesson plan will find the class session to be more enjoyable, more comfortable, and more successful. Lesson plans also help ensure that lesson topics fit within the overarching goals of the course. This is especially important for courses linked to state standards. The first step in writing the lesson plan is a thorough reading of the applicable chapter or unit in the Street Law textbook and accompanying teacher's manual. The law student can begin writing the first portion of the lesson, using the following as a guide:

Lesson Plans - Law
Did Jack break the law?:
Simplified Mock Trial
Updated June 15, 1998 SUBJECT: Law
GRADE(S): 1-3 (or older grades inexperienced with mock trials)
DESCRIPTION: conducting a simplified mock trial in a classroom, based on "Jack and the Beanstalk".
DURATION: 45 minutes
LANGUAGE: English (can easily be adapted to the language of the classroom)
AUTHOR: ACJNet, adapted from "Mock Trial Building Blocks," Resource News , October 1985.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE(S): At the end of this lesson, students should be able to...
  • identify the process for settling a legal dispute (how are the facts of the case presented; how is the dispute resolved)
  • identify key players in a legal dispute (who presents the facts; who makes the final decision)
  • determine what makes a decision fair.
FORMAT:
Small group deliberation in simplified mock-trial format; class is divided into three groups for mock trial; groups of three, one each acting as judge, accused and accuser, or whole class, for summary discussion.
BACKGROUND:
A full-scale mock trial can be an intimidating prospect for an elementary classroom-both for teacher and students. This lesson plan for a simplified mock-trial provides an opportunity to experience the fundamentals of a trial. Beginning with a cast of three characters, students will develop skills that will lead them safely into more complicated cases. The basic tenets of the lesson include those items covered in the learning objectives. Understanding that the purpose of a trial is to settle a dispute between two people, the two parties are given an opportunity to present their side of the story to a judge. With the final authority resting with him/her, the judge takes some time to clarify issues with each party and then makes a decision that is seen to be fair to each party. Without distinguishing between civil and criminal issues, this lesson illustrates the essentials of our adversary system: that each party is allowed to tell his/her side of the story, that the judge is the person with the authority to settle the dispute, that a fair decision is presented with reasons supporting that decision.
