We have also created an internal student advocacy program, which includes a full
mock civil trial, with participation and feedback from lawyers within the firm.
ComCon consultants have planned and run
mock trials for cases ranging from intellectual property to personal injury to
civil rights to murder to employment to contracts to asbestos to fraud and more.
Therefore, litigators can reliably use
mock trial simulations to determine whether or not their evidence is strong enough to warrant going to
trial in
civil cases.
The Ontario Justice Education Network (OJEN) and the Toronto Lawyers Association (TLA) regularly organize lawyer volunteers to go into Ontario Grade 5 classrooms to run
Mock Trials based on the Hansel and Gretel story as part of their Elementary School
Civil Mock Trial Program.
