Lexington will
host mock trial

By llatie Nelsen

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A woman accused of stab-
bing her husband will be put on
trial this weekend in Lexing
ton. Students from three Ken-
tucky law schools will repre-
sent the defendant and the
plaintiff.

Luckily for both sides iii-
volved. this is only a mock trial.

“They can teach you all the
theory they want in law school.
but you never get a chance to
get practical experience until
the mock trials." said team
member Shawna Virgin. a
third-year law student.

This weekend the first iii-
trastate mock trial competition
in Kentucky history will he
held in Lexington. (Toiiipetitors
will include law students from
lTK, University of Louisville.
and Chase Law School at North-
ern Kentucky University.

A mock trial provides expe»
rience to law students who are
interested in trial law and give
them the opportunity to prac
tice law on their feet as opposed
to in a desk.

Lexingtonlfi'iyette (‘ounty
police trainees will pose as witr
nesses anti the defendant. while
Lit) Kentucky lawyers will serve

as judges for the two days of

trials.

Allison Connolly. a UK law
professor who organized the in-
trastate tournament. has
coached [TK‘s national mock tri
al team for the past two years.
Since (‘onnelly has taken the
helm. UK has swept regional
competition both years,

(‘onnelly said the reason

not: "
Corrections

this event was introduced is to
give students from various law
schools an opportunity to com-
pete in a trial setting before the
national competition in the
spring.

Said Kenny l’eden, the
only second year law student
on UK‘s team. “The competi-
tion puts you in the mindset
and gives us the momentum
that we need to go into the
spring.“

Both (,‘onnelly and team
members stress the importance
of practice and time dedicated
to perfect the trial process.
Stephanie Miller. a third year
UK law student. said the team
has practiced for the past six
weeks to prepare for this week
end. “You really have to learn
to communicate on your feet."
Miller said. “There's no re-
hearsal.”

The teams are awarded
points based on their opening
arguments. cross-examinations
and other aspects of the litiga-
tion process The winning team
will receive $1.000.

Miller thinks wmning this
tournament would give the
school and the students the con-
fidence and experience needed
in the courtroom. “I think we'll
learn so much from winning. if
not more from losing." Miller
said.

Members of UK‘s mock tri-
al team said the hard work and
effort they have put in will lead
to success. "We're not looking
to lose." said David Mushlin. a
team member and third-year
law student.

“We‘re going into this very
compelitively."

An article in Tuesday's paper should have said the woolly
mammoth was discovered in 1997. and that Dolly the sheep was

cloned in l996.
