Students give prepared speeches on a variety of topics and will learn proper research, structure, style, and technique.Students will also learn the principles of debate and engage in such forums, as well as learn the oral interpretation of literature.

Mock Trial

The Mock Trial class is based around the Constitutional Rights Foundation Mock Trial case for the states of California that is published to all California schools in September every year. Students work on all aspects of the case. Typically all mock trial cases have several different categories of witnesses as well as courtroom roles (e.g., clerk, bailiff, artist, journalist) and prosecution and defense pre-trial and attorney roles. Every case examines as least one amendment. The class encompasses all of these categories from August-February every year. From March-May, the case is over and students work on constitutional law projects, with inclusion of specific amendments. This elective course is for students that might possibly be interested in law as a career, who want to be part of an academic team here at Oaks, and who understand that the mock trial competition is part of the process. This class is on an assigned basis, meaning tryouts are necessary before the students are assigned to the class.
