The Shenandoah University National Competition Mock Trial Team invites the campus community to an invitational match against George Mason University’s National Team on Saturday, Dec. 5, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in Henkel Hall, Room 105. The first trial begins at 10 a.m., followed by a provided lunch, with the second trial starting at 1 p.m. The case is based on actual events and involves a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the families of 12 individuals killed in a fire allegedly caused by a drunk driver who struck an improperly maintained utility pole. Attendees are invited to observe and serve as jurors, helping to decide the case. Drinks and snacks will also be provided. Professor Jeff Harding, a practicing litigation attorney, will preside, with local judges, attorneys and program members scoring the competition.
