Mock trial hosted by the department of foring languages

2 year students of law faculty have played international lawyers at the beginning of December. They have mocked a court session in English. 

On August 22nd, 1990, shortly after midnight, Jaeger Jones called 911 from his home and reported that his nineteen-year-old live-in girlfriend, Mary Barndt, had shot herself. When police and paramedics arrived into place, they found her unconscious in kitchen. The gun of the 22nd caliber was lying close to her body. Doctors tried to rescue her, but their efforts were vain. She died right after arriving at the hospital. This case has become the background of mock trial. 
"Mock Trail" is an annual event, hosted by the foreign languages department (South Ural State University). The teacher of foreign languages, the candidate of pedagogic sciences, Elena Schreiber has anchored such court sessions for the second time and now she shares her ideas.

All Rise! Court is in session. All people get up and even teachers jump up. Such beginning let us know that it is not a trivial game, but a serious trial is on the air. And such spirit isn't surprising, as the destiny of the defendant – Jaeger Jones will be decided today. 

There were the judges, the prosecution lawyer, the defence lawyer, the defendant, the jurors, the experts of both sides and witnesses. All participants were divided into groups and preparation for action was conducted separately. There weren’t any rehearsals, so nobody knew the development of subject line. The task was to study the case, experts’ examinations and various evidences and act it out following the rules if criminal procedure. Teachers of foreign languages department have trained students for the performance: Y. Schreiber , M. Tamoshina , M.Yermilova, V. Kolmakova. The tutor of defence side Margarita Tamoshina, explains prep stages:

It was a real challenge for most students. Despite the fact that many students were nervous, their anxiety turned to be a real advantage. Every emotion, every phrase made a special chemistry between the participants in the courtroom. 
A. Chomaeva (group 203 of law department) played the role of prosecution, sharpening the skills of public performance, was a real top dog. She reveals her secret:

At the end of session every person was shocked. The court found Jaeger Jones guilty and sentenced him to 55 years of imprisonment. This decision caused hot debates among the viewers. However, the judges have explained, such punishment is fair because the Anglo-Saxon justice system differs from the Russian system.

Under the 105th article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the punishment for murder is from 6 to 15 years of imprisonment.
I visited the courtroom and I saw how the so-called matter of life and death, was resolved! Be aware of university actions, be curious and broaden the horizons! The correspondent of "SUSU radio" yours Marína Chernykh. See you soon!
