Teachers can use this mock trial video to give their students the experience of what it is like to serve on a jury. This mock trial is of a criminal case involving the alleged theft of a luxury watch from a jewelry store.

For a guide on how to present this exercise and for another mock trail case, visit http://howtexascourtswork.tyla.org/st.... Teachers should cover the information on the website on how to determine whether someone is lying, show the video to the students, and then have the students argue until they come to a consensus about who they believe.
