Mock Trials – Extend Option

Please note: This course is one of our Extend Options designed to be combined with other A Level programmes or BTEC Extended Certificate courses to make up a full timetable. If you are planning to study an A Level programme at Exeter College you will need to enrol on a four element programme, and cannot apply for this course on it’s own.

Advocacy is the practice that lawyers use to present a client’s case in court. Articulating an argument and public speaking do not come naturally to most of us. This Extend will help you to gradually build your confidence and advocacy skills, which are really important in life to be able to best represent yourself and others in a dispute. We will start by getting discussions going based on legal scenarios and/or current affairs, building up to collaboratively researching and developing how to convincingly put forward a case, culminating in a mock court trial. This will compliment Law A Level, suit those interested in possibly studying law in the future, but also help anyone wishing to develop the critical thinking and other skills sought after by top universities and employers.
