Conducting
a court observation project is an excellent way for any existing civic,
legal, or business organization to learn more about their courts and provide
valuable feedback to court leaders. It is also a great class project,
group activity or a way to launch a new organization!
The Handbook teaches you how to: (a) Plan the observation methodology; (b) Estimate volunteers needed; (c) Address budgeting and staffing issues; (d) Recruit, screen and train volunteers; (e) Analyze data; and (f) Write, publicize and distribute final report. Includes one hard copy of the Handbook and a PDF version on a CD. Price includes shipping and handling.

Give
students an opportunity to be a juror. Through a dramatization of an abbreviated
mock trial, "Guilty or Not Guilty? You Decide," students
sit on a jury and receive instructions from a judge on issues to consider
when deciding a case. This 20-minute video provides a unique opportunity
for students - jurors of the future - to learn directly about the importance
of jury service and what it is like to decide a case.

termed "Student Challenges." Several worksheets and accompanying
answer keys are provided for assessing the progress of your students with
the materials in the Teacher's Guide. It makes a great companion piece
to the mock trial. Price includes shipping and handling.
