Judge Stephanie Charter hosted a mock trial in her courtroom for an eighth grade class. Suited up and carrying briefcases, the class from Classical Convos Homeschool came prepared for a complex reckless homicide case. “They did an excellent job of tackling the challenging subject matter. A few of the students showed a real aptitude for cross-examination and could have a future as prosecutors or defense counsel,” said Judge Charter. “I think it will be an experience they will remember as they go on to high school, where I would anticipate some of them will remain involved in a mock trial program.  It’s an example of using the courthouse for the public good and furthering education for Clark County youth.”

The students showed their appreciation for the mock trial experience with a nice thank you card.
