Mock Trial Resources

I love doing mock trials with my students! I guess that should say mock trial - because I always do the same mock trial with my students called B.B. Wolf v. Curly Pig. 


After learning about the constitution and the three branches of government, I enjoy having my students do this to learn more about the judicial branch. Because my students loved it so much, I wanted to try to find some more free resources. 


Here's what I found:

• The Case of the Missing Puppy (5 day mini-court lesson plan for grades k-2)
• Mom A. Bear, Pop A. Bear and Babe E. Bear v. Gold E. Locks
• The Case of Mary's Missing Lunch
• Judgement on Nuremberg
• Finding Justice for Fairy Tales (webquest)
• State of Maine v. Delphinia Rose Sweetpea
• United States v. John Smith (Says it's for grades 6-12)

Have you used mock trials in your classroom? Which is your favorite? What tips do you have for teachers who've never done it?
