YEAR 6 MOCK TRIAL COMPETITION
The Year 6 Mock Trial Competition (Y6MTC) is an annual event hosted by the Greater Manchester Magistrates'in the Community team.
It involves the students acting out a trial in which they play all the major roles including magistrates, solicitors, defendant, and witnesses. One school takes on the role of prosecution and the other defence.
The student magistrates determine the verdict at the end of the trial. A verdict of guilty or not guilty does not affect the result of the competition, it all depends upon how well the students perform during the trial.
The 2024 competition was held at Hemsley House in Salford and involved sixteen schools from all ten regions of Greater Manchester. It started at about 8.45 and finished by 1.45. We were able to assist with the cost of transport to the venue when required.
In addition to the mock trials, there were other activities provided for the students during the event.
