Summer Mock Trial Camps

The Program Coordinator for the Carolina Center for Civic Education recently contacted Ms. Mattocks with the following message.

 I am pleased to invite your students and teachers to take part in an exciting and fun opportunity this summer. The CCCE will be hosting our second annual Summer Mock Trial Camps for students in grades 9 - 12 (fall 2014). Mock trial is an engaging, hands-on way to learn about our justice system and trial-by-jury while developing crucial academic skills such as analytical reasoning, oral and written communication, and collaborative leadership skills.

Our camps will be held in 3 locationsChapel Hill (June 25 - 28); Asheville (July 9 - 12); and Fayetteville (July 30 - Aug 2). Each camp will provide Basic and Advanced tracks, and students and teachers will have the chance to put their knowledge into practice by taking part in a trial scrimmage on the final day of camp. The Chapel Hill and Asheville sites include day and overnight options; the Fayetteville site is for day campers only.

We are proud to announce that our teaching sessions will be led by esteemed legal professionals, including judges, adjunct professors at colleges and law schools, and attorneys who have published and led seminars nationwide. Please see the attached for more information on our stellar line up of instructors at each location! In addition, experienced college students will mentor each team as they develop their case presentations.

I have also attached a camp flyer with information, as well as a registration form. More information is available on our website at http://ncmocktrial.org/camps/ccce-summer-camps.

I appreciate your assistance letting your students and teachers know about this outstanding opportunity.

We would love for your faculty and students to join us this summer! I am sure that those who attend will find the experience to be academically enriching, rewarding and fun.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or need further information. Thank you.
