We are having an International Tournament - International Criminal Court as part of a pilot program for the Texas Youth and Government, World Class Schools and International Mock Trials.
We are also working with Guatemala YMCA, The University of Vermont, and several other organizations.
We are looking to work on Case 1 and 3 for this spring.
We will try case 3 during the week of April 16-19, 2012 - We need schools for defense on this one
We will try case 1 during the week of April 30, May 1, May 2 We need schools for both prosecution and defense
We are trying to have volunteer judges from several different colleges. We would like to have the briefs sent to the judges before we start the arguments.
Format Rules
Two attorneys per team
Each attorney will have 15 minutes to present their arguments
30 Minutes per side
Prosecution may reserve 2 minutes of their time for rebuttal
The judge(s) may ask question throughout your arguments.
There are no objections- lawyers present evidence of their arguments and are cross examined by the judges.
We realize that these rules are a little different than other ICC organizations. We are trying for educational purposes to run this in a very timely manner and to optimize the learning for each of the participants.
Please email me back to tell me which ones you would like participate in and what times you can participate.
