Description: The mock trial will examine elements of an employment dispute involving allegations of sexual harassment. We created a hypothetical case as the ideal training tool for this event. Seasoned employment law attorneys will present the complainant’s and respondent’s respective cases based on a mock fact pattern. They will then provide commentary and explanations of their presentation techniques and strategies as the typical sexual harassment case relies heavily on strategy and presentation skills of a lawyer.
