“A Washington wonk’s dream.” –The New York Times
Legal issues permeating the work of Shakespeare have inspired STC’s popular Mock Trial for over three decades. Showcasing nationally acclaimed lawyers making their arguments before a bench of Supreme Court and other distinguished justices and a jury of audience members, the law has never been more fun.
Tickets to the event often sell out in minutes due to the legal talent on the stage, which over the years has included jurists such as U.S. Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Samuel Anthony Alito, Jr., Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Brett M. Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, Ketanji Brown Jackson and the Honorable Suzanne Côté from the Supreme Court of Canada, as well as Circuit Judge Merrick B. Garland, Judge David S. Tatel, Judge Thomas B. Griffith, Judge Patricia A. Millett, Judge Cornelia T.L. Pillard, Judge Robert L. Wilkins, and Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg of the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
