The Barrister Visit
We talked about all the various things lawyers do. The visiting Barrister, Jadel Naidoo BL, was in the sector of employment law. We also did a mock trial with him, preparing for our trip to the Criminal Courts. He was very pleasant and informative.
The Visit to the Criminal Courts
On Thursday, 20th December, we went to the Criminal Courts to do a mock trial. We each took various roles in a typical court case. I was a witness for the defence. It was really interesting to see what it would be like to be a barrister or another person working in the courts.
