Marcia: I'm wondering about the feasibility of using an episode from the new series Crime and Punishment (a "reality" show from the makers of Law and Order, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Law and Order: Criminal Intent, and Law and Order: Attack of the Clones...).
I haven't had the time to watch the episode I've taped, but I'm wondering if all of the trials end in favor of the prosecutors, as these are the people who seem to be followed throughout the show. Any comments from listmembers who have seen one of the first two episodes? Alternatively, has anyone used a Court TV episode for a mock trial, for pedagogical or research purposes? -Max Gwynn On Mon, 24 Jun 2002, McKinley, Marcia wrote: > Has anyone ever tried having a class stage a mock trial?
