Two groups of Woodham Academy’s More Able Academy students visited Durham University’s Law School last week. The visit included a series of workshops and a tour of the Law School and the Bill Bryson Library led by current Durham University students. The aim of the visit was to try to make the concept of studying Law a little less daunting,  helping students to make an informed choice when choosing their degree, and also to encourage them to consider applying to Durham. The highlight of the visit was a mock trial where the students took the parts of the witnesses, barristers, judges and jury. They followed typical court procedures to come a judgement, both year groups finding the defendant not guilty
