Grades 7-9: Due Process Freedoms
Voir Dire Simulation
Additional Activities
After students have selected a jury, they can write a mock trial to go with the fact
sheet provided in the voir dire simulation. Students can expand on the descriptions of the
jurors selected as they pick students to play those roles. They can try their case
incorporating some jury-related issues, such as contrasting the results of a twelve-person
jury with a six-person jury. They can compare the results of a unanimous verdict with a
less than unanimous verdict in the same case. Invite trial lawyers to visit your class and
discuss these issues. They can serve as judges in your mock trials.
