We the Jury: A Simulation for the Classroom. Instructor's Guide.
Valentine, Martha
Designed to provide students and adults with a learning experience related to the jury system, this game focuses on the jury selection process. In doing so, the game examines an important element of a fair trial--the right of the accused to be judged by an impartial jury. The game is designed for four class periods and can be used with a class of 30-35 students. Following a discussion of the background of the jury process and its institutionalization in the Constitution, students select a jury for hypothetical cases. The objectives of the game are to enable students to: (1) describe the jury selection procedure; (2) describe the rights of the accused regarding trial by jury; (3) develop questions that probe underlying attitudes and values; (4) participate in and evaluate a mock jury selection exercise; and (5) demonstrate a willingness to serve on jury duty. Instructor's guide and student handouts are provided. (LH)
