To mark the completion of the novel “The Outsiders,” the seventh graders put on a most impressive mock trial. The students put their creative, linguistic and legal skills to the test as they conducted the trial. They had carefully followed the development of the book’s characters, used their knowledge to craft the trial. They wrote legal briefs, methodically thought out opening and closing statements, and acted in the roles of witnesses, the jury, prosecutors and defendants. Everyone was so impressed with their professionalism and commitment to a polished presentation. Look out Harvard Law!
