Applications open for the annual Oxford Pathways to Law Mock Trial
The Year 10 & 11 Mock Trial is a special event hosted annually by the University of Oxford’s Faculty of Law, in collaboration with Maitland Chambers, as part of the Pathways to Law Programme set up in 2006 by the Sutton Trust and the College of Law (now the Legal Education Foundation) to widen access to the legal profession.
The event involves a law masterclass, coaching and advocacy training by Maitland Chambers’ barristers, University academics and undergraduate mentors. Participating students are presented with case materials based on real trials, work as part of a team, and assume various roles involved in a criminal trial, from clerks and advocates to ushers and juniors. The event culminates with a mock trial, advocacy feedback and prizes for best performance
