Dr. Cory Lepage's JUST 374 class, The Courts, recently participated in a mock jury selection. Students playing the role of prosecutors and defense attorneys practiced voir dire - asking questions of potential jurors - during class. Other students from Dr. Lepage's JUST 110 Intro to Justice class volunteered to play the role of prospective jurors.
Students who were playing the role of lawyers were given a hypothetical domestic violence case two weeks earlier and had to prepare legally permissible questions to ask of each juror. Dr. Lepage acted as the judge in the mock jury selection.
