Welcome to UC Mock Trial:
The University of Cincinnati Mock Trial Team has been competing on a national level since the 1992-93 season. UC has a proud tradition of excellence which includes having at least one team qualify for a national competition in every year of its existence. While remaining competitive, UC Mock Trial strives to give its students the opportunity to learn firsthand the work of trial attorneys, gain a better understanding of the judicial system, develop critical thinking skills, enhance communication skills, and prepare those who will go on to law school.
2010-2011 CASE SUMMARY!!!
In 2009, a young child swallowed several dozen beads from his older sister’s make-your-own jewelry set. His babysitter found him lying on the carpet minutes later and hurried him to the hospital. The boy died shortly after. Tests revealed that the beads he swallowed contained 1,4-butanediol, a precursor for a controlled substance called gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (“GHB”). The boy’s parent has brought a civil lawsuit for negligence and strict liability against the toy company that designed and manufactured the jewelry set that allegedly caused the boy’s death.
