PowerPoint presentation on Duty Counsel Day
NOTE: A security warning may appear when you open the slide deck in Microsoft PowerPoint. Please select “Enable Content” to access the video links.
Mock court activity
DISCLAIMER: It should be noted that this activity is geared more toward high-school students in grades 9 through 12 due to sensitive topics such as individuals being arrested and dealing with the police. If students are to participate, we recommend it is on a volunteer basis and in line with students’ comfort levels. However, each teacher knows their student best, and we leave all decisions regarding student participation up to the sole discretion of the teacher.
