MGC celebrates law week!

MGC Moot Court

On Thursday the 19th of May, the Humanities Team organised a very successful moot court in celebration of law week at lunchtime in the auditorium. Participants were given the mock court case of DPP v Brown, in which students performed the roles in the murder case of Angela Grollo.

We kindly thank Alumni President Suzie Rule, who opened the mock trials with shared her experience in the area of law and gave students an insight into the workings of a criminal court trial. Suzie provided the students with a comprehensive understanding of the many positions that a lawyer can have today. This insight inspired our participants to enthusiastically argue for or against the accused Mr Robert Brown’s whereabouts regarding the night of unfortunate murder. The court case was full of colourful witnesses and exaggerating hand gestures by the lawyers/barristers. In the end, the members of the jury determined the fate of defendant Robert Brown and sentenced him to a guilty verdict. Although it didn’t end well for the accussed, students were awarded prizes for their outstanding performance.

•    ‘Best Improv’ – Sabrina Brydon;

•    ‘Best One Liner’ – Aybuke Gavas; 

•    ‘Best Knowledge of the Law’ - Claudia Marangoni; and

•    ‘Best Overall Performance’ – Isabella McNamara 

Many thanks to Ms Money, Ms Brown, Ms Sandilands, Ms Trujillo and to all students who took interest in taking part in this great opportunity! We couldn't have done it without you!
