A Model Courtroom
Journal Cover
From Volume 2 Number 6 | December 1973
By James J. Morisseau

At the same time, the law schools have been criticized for their lack of effectiveness in training trial lawyers. In an attempt to meet both of these problems, the McGeorge School of Law of the University of the Pacific in Sacramento, California, has opened what it terms the "courtroom of the future" and a prototype for courts and schools of law across the nation. The model courtroom and its evolution are described in this article.
