Catalogue of Trial Subjects I believe that the best mock trials are based on
books (or plays or movies) that are already being studied as part of the
existing classroom curriculum. Below
is a list of books and other literature which I’ve used as the basis for mock
trials over a dozen years. And
I’m always excited about trying new ones! -- Steve Brown BOOKS A
