If you are interested in a career in law, this is a fantastic way to gain hands-on experience!
It is an annual competition, but you must be aged 15-18 and enter through your school. Please visit citizenshipfoundation.org.uk/main/comps.php… for details.
The Queen v Speed Case involves an Olympic track cyclist who was found with a Class B performance-enhancing drug.
The defence barristers argue the defendant found the drug by a team-mate's possessions and was in search for a police to hand it over to.
The prosecution barristers argue the defendant is guilty of using the performance-enhancing drug to cheat in the sport.
Is the defendant guilty or not guilty? If you love debating and arguing your point, enter the Bar National Mock Trial Competition!
A great aspect of the competition is you can take on the roles of barristers, witnesses, the jury, a court clerk or an usher. YOU CHOOSE!
