T he 2007 John S. Bradway Philadelphia HighSchool Mock Trial Competition, organized byTemple University’s Beasley School of Law and
the Philadelphia YLD, will be held Jan. 29 throughMarch 3, 2007.
Each spring, students from 50 public, private andparochial schools compete in a simplified mock trial forthe City Mock Trial Championship. The students aregiven the opportunity play the roles of attorneys and wit-nesses in a fictitious criminal or civil case, focusing onreal legal issues. Previous trials have involved the sup-pression of evidence, hate crimes, constitutional issues,simple negligence matters, civil forfeitures in a criminalcontext and first degree murder.
YLD volunteer coaches are integral in guiding studentsin understanding the way a trial works, helping to devel-op trial strategies, and promoting an understanding of trialfundamentals. The teams compete in a round-robin tour-nament, with the best teams ultimately advancing to thestate championship in Harrisburg to represent thePhiladelphia region. The state champions go on to repre-sent Pennsylvania in the national finals. Volunteers areneeded to serve as team coaches and judges for the pre-liminary rounds of the competition.
