Moyer Ohio Judicial Center in Columbus. This was the 12th year in a row that Menlo students competed, and this year&#8217;s teams continued the trend of earning high marks and awards, earning two &#8220;Outstanding&#8221; team rankings, three &#8220;Best Attorney&#8221; awards, and two &#8220;Best Witness&#8221; awards. Over its 12-year history, Menlo teams have garnered eight &#8220;Outstanding,&#8221; four &#8220;Superior&#8221; team rankings, and numerous &#8220;Best Attorney&#8221; and &#8220;Best Witness&#8221; awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginning this past fall, students grades 6-8 auditioned to earn one of 12 spots on each of Menlo&#8217;s two Mock Trial teams: Team Edison and Team Tesla. Those 24 students then spent many Friday afternoons after school throughout the school year researching and preparing both sides of a &#8220;case&#8221; given to them. Their case was delivered and formatted like a real court case; it included a case summary, trial briefs, and witness statements. This year&#8217;s case was based on the 1998 novel&nbsp;<em>Holes<\/em>&nbsp;by Louis Sachar and centered on Stanley Yelnats, a man sent to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Boot_camp_(correctional)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">correctional boot camp<\/a>&nbsp;in a desert in Texas after being falsely accused of theft.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/menloparkacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/menlo-mock-trial-courtroom-1024x426.jpeg\" alt=\"menlo students participating in a mock trial case in a courtroom\" class=\"wp-image-13660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/menloparkacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/menlo-mock-trial-courtroom-1024x426.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/menloparkacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/menlo-mock-trial-courtroom-300x125.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/menloparkacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/menlo-mock-trial-courtroom-768x320.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/menloparkacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/menlo-mock-trial-courtroom.jpeg 1442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students then practiced for months, acting as witnesses or attorneys, to prepare well-developed arguments for both sides of the case. The teams also worked on strategic questioning for their witnesses and learned to master presentation, public speaking, and persuasion skills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their time and effort all culminated in the competition in Columbus, where the two teams prosecuted their cases in the morning against teams from Garfield Middle School (Hamilton, OH) and Woodward Park Middle School (Columbus). They then switched to being the defense in the afternoon against Bethany Middle School (Cincinnati) and Harding Middle School (Steubenville).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For eighth-grade student Beth D., this was her second year in Mock Trial. &#8220;It&#8217;s been an interactive experience that lets us see what a future in law would look like. It&#8217;s also really fun to argue.&#8221; She continued, &#8220;It&#8217;s been a challenge and has helped me consider both sides of an argument, and not just for the case we were preparing. I&#8217;ve learned to better advocate a position, improved my public speaking and become more confident.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"830\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/menloparkacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/menlo-mock-trial-attorney-830x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"menlo student acting as an attorney in mock trial\" class=\"wp-image-13659\" style=\"width:365px;height:450px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/menloparkacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/menlo-mock-trial-attorney-830x1024.jpeg 830w, https:\/\/menloparkacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/menlo-mock-trial-attorney-243x300.jpeg 243w, https:\/\/menloparkacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/menlo-mock-trial-attorney-768x947.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/menloparkacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/menlo-mock-trial-attorney.jpeg 1179w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Menlo&#8217;s owes its continued success at Ohio Middle School Mock Trial to the teams&#8217; coaches, each an attorney and parent of Menlo students. Latha Srinivasan and Erin Armstrong started Mock Trial at Menlo as an elective during the 2012-2013 school year and have been coaching the teams as an after-school program ever since. Eric Steiger joined them in the 2021-2022 school year. Together, they have watched how hard their students have worked to prepare and how quickly they have caught on to the material, and they could not be more proud of their teams&#8217; successes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About Ohio Middle School Mock Trial<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Conducted by the Ohio Center for Law-Related Education (OCLRE), Ohio Middle School Mock Trial combines middle school students&#8217; love of argument with a love of good literature. Middle School Mock Trial cases are literature-based, with cases constructed from books most commonly read in the middle grades. Students learn first-hand about the law, court procedures, and the judicial system while also building critical 21st-century skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Middle School Mock Trial cases are based on pop\u00adu\u00adlar lit\u00ader\u00ada\u00adture, writ\u00adten by teams of teach\u00aders and lawyers. Mid\u00addle school stu\u00addents act as wit\u00adnesses and at\u00adtor\u00adneys to argue cases in\u00advolv\u00ading their fa\u00advorite char\u00adac\u00adters. The pro\u00adgram was de\u00adsigned with Ohio&#8217;s Learn\u00ading Stan\u00addards for so\u00adcial stud\u00adies and Eng\u00adlish\/lan\u00adguage arts in mind and is ideal for in\u00adter\u00addis\u00adci\u00adpli\u00adnary teach\u00ading. Stu\u00addents read and an\u00ada\u00adlyze wit\u00adness state\u00adments drawn from the char\u00adac\u00adters in the books. Stu\u00addents then work col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtively to de\u00advelop ar\u00adgu\u00adments for both sides and de\u00advelop strate\u00adgies to ques\u00adtion the wit\u00adnesses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OCLRE Mock Trial provides the opportunity for students to put together a coherent argument for their side of the case using furnished testimonials and physical evidence. The comprehensive approach includes reading a case summary, trial briefs, and witness statements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About Menlo Park Academy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Menlo Park Academy is Ohio&#8217;s only tuition-free K-8 school for gifted children.
