For the very first time Sir William Stanier (SWS) students have taken part in the Bar Mock Trial competition organised by The Citizenship Foundation.
RedShift Hub Members Hibberts Solicitors kindly sponsored the school to participate in this aspirational competition where students take on the roles of barristers, ushers, clerks and jurors to recreate an authentic Crown Court trial to give them an insight into what it would be like to work within the legal profession.
A team of solicitors from Hibberts, including former SWS student Michaela Warner were joined by Barrister Philip Robson and Crewe Town Councillor, law graduate and former student, Benn Minshall to help mentor and prepare the students for their day in court.
Students not only had to get to grips with the technicalities of the law and the complex evidence in the two cases but also had to learn how to behave as a professional clerk, usher or barrister in preparation for the regional heats of the competition which took place on December 2nd at Liverpool Crown Court.
