Mock trial的意思

"Mock trial" is a term used to describe a simulated trial where participants role-play the various parts of a legal proceeding, such as attorneys, witnesses, and jury members. These mock trials are often used for educational purposes, such as in law schools or high school debate clubs, to help participants learn about the legal system and courtroom procedures. They can also be used in professional development for lawyers or as a tool for testing out new strategies or arguments in a controlled environment.
