The New Zealand Law Society will soon be running its annual Litigation Skills Programme. This is a course designed to improve the courtroom skills of lawyers throughout New Zealand.
On the final day of the course the participants get the opportunity to present a case in front of a Judge and jury in a mock trial. The Judges are flown in from around New Zealand but we need members of the public to be the jury.
Volunteers will hear both a murder case and defamation case, then will retire and deliver a verdict after each case. This is an exciting day and is a great chance to hear some of New Zealand's future top lawyers in action.
The mock trials are held in the Christchurch Courts on Saturday 23 August from 8.45am-5.00pm. Morning tea, a buffet lunch and afternoon tea will be provided.
Qualified lawyers are unfortunately not able to take part, but if you or any of your friends or family are interested in being a juror at these mock trials, please email your details to sasha.wycherley@lawyers.org.nz.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
