Hoffman Students Participate in Mock Trial

Disponible en:

Forty students from Hoffman Middle School, under the direction of Charlotte D. Davis, history teacher, participated in the Houston Bar Association’s Juvenile Justice Mock Trial Program at the Harris County Civil Courthouse.

The purpose of the mock trial is to educate youths about the U.S. legal system, the jurisprudence and the work of attorneys. Hoffman students’ mock trial dealt with a case regarding the murder of a high school football player. In order to prepare for their presentation in court, the students worked with a Houston Bar Association representative.

According to Davis, the HBA representative gave the Hoffman team high marks.

“The representative complimented the students’ hard work,” stated Davis. “She commented that not only was the performance from Hoffman Middle School students the best she had witnessed, but they were also the most well-behaved students she had overseen in her 11 years sponsoring the Juvenile Justice Mock Trial.”

Congratulations to Hoffman students who participated in the mock trial.
