Julian Smith MP has wished good luck to the students of Ermysteds Grammar School and Ripon Grammar School, who are competing in the regional heats of the Bar Mock Trial Competition later this month.
The Bar Mock Trial competition is an opportunity for students aged 15-18 to gain an insight into the justice system by simulating a criminal trial. Students appear in real crown courts in front of real judges and are assisted in their preparations by professional barristers. The competition aims to help students develop their skills in logical reasoning and teamwork.
Julian Smith MP said:
I would like to wish students from both schools great success in their endeavours. I am sure they have been working hard to prepare, and would like to wish them best of luck for the competition.
