[blindlaw] question about the ABA and mock trials

[Scott C. LaBarre]

Agreed.  All trials are open to the public unless specifically sealed by the
Court.  Normally, family law matters especially involving the welfare of
children are the type of cases closed to the public.  The clerk's office at
a court can tell you what trials are on the docket and which are closed.

Depending upon where you live, why not go to a real trial instead of a mock
trial.

During summer vacations when I was in highschool, I would go to courthouses
near where I lived and sit in on trials.  It was a great learning
experience.

Hi all:
So, I just had 2 quick questions.
First of all, as far as ABA membership, does being part of the ABA while
you're still a student have any benefits/present you with any opportunities
or is it only for lawyers who are already practicing?
Also, I have seen countless bits and pieces about the ABA running mock
trials, both for law students and for non-majors or high school students.
Like I said, I'm out of high school but not in college yet, but I'd like to
be part of and/or learn from observing mock trials.
Does anyone know how you sign up for that or is that only for ABA members?

Thanks,

Jorge
