SPeople who study for paralegal degrees occasionally get the opportunity to participate in mock trial competitions as part of their coursework.
A recent article in the Plano (Texas) Courier Star noted the participation in the Great Southern Regional Tournament by students from nearby Collin College, as well as a number of other Texas educational institutions.
"The unintended effect of being on mock trial is the tremendous boost in self confidence and learning teamwork. It's a team effort as well as individual effort. The intended effect is to pad a resume for either a job or good college application," Bob Franklin, faculty advisor to the mock trial team, told the newspaper.
Members on the team reportedly range from paralegal students to criminal justice and other majors.
