Mock Trial Seminar

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Mock Trial seminar on May 18, 2006 in Troy Michigan. The Mock Trial Seminar was based on an actual case that was tried before a jury. All the facts and testimony of the witnesses were taken from exhibits and transcripts from the original case.

Objectives:

1. Demonstrate the problems the defendant physician is faced with at trial when he or she does not take the pre-trial deposition process seriously enough.

2. Recognize how the failure to follow advise of council and review records and other pertinent documents, will make the trial experience challenging.

3. Increased knowledge of the trial process.

4. Gain an understanding of the importance of maintaining a “proper demeanor” in the courtroom.
