Junior Lawyers Club

Order in the classroom!

Are you a curious thinker who loves a good mystery? Do you want to argue your point, crack a case, or decide what's fair? Are you excited by the idea of stepping into the shoes of a judge, lawyer, detective, or juror?

This interactive enrichment program invites students to become judges, lawyers, detectives, witnesses, and jurors while solving fictional cases together. Through games, mock trials, debates, and mystery challenges, students build confidence in public speaking, critical thinking, and problem-solving, all while learning about fairness, responsibility, teamwork, and respectful communication.

This class will be comprised of a single cohort of up to 10 players, with a host on-hand to guide activities, keep the case moving, and make sure every student gets a chance to speak, argue, and shine.

This class is open to students of all experience levels, no legal knowledge (or actual courtroom experience!) required. (Just an eagerness to speak up and solve a good mystery.)

What to Expect

• Solve Real Cases! From a missing classroom hamster to a knocked-over science project, students investigate evidence, question witnesses, and crack the case together!
• Take the Stand! Students rotate through roles like judge, lawyer, witness, and juror, building courtroom confidence one case at a time!
• Debate the Big Questions! From "should homework be banned?" to "should recess be longer?", students practice arguing their side with confidence and respect!
• Design Their Own Laws! Groups create classroom rules, park rules, or zoo rules, then defend why they made them!
