Unit 6: The Trial Simulation (Participation in Trial Proceedings and Oral Advocacy)
6.1 The Trial’s Stages (Where the Simulation Sits)
A criminal trial before the District Court moves in a fixed order:
- Framing of the charge; the accused’s plea.
- Prosecution evidence — witness examination-in-chief, cross-examination, re-examination (the Evidence Act, 2031 governs relevance and competence).
- The accused’s statement (the court’s questioning).
- Defence evidence, if any.
- Final arguments.
- Judgment — acquittal or conviction, then sentence or release.
The moot usually simulates stage 5 (final arguments) or a bail/appellate hearing. The participant must still know the whole ladder, because arguments constantly refer to what happened on each rung.
6.2 The Argument’s Architecture
| Minute | Content | Craft rule |
|---|---|---|
| 0–2 | The issue and the relief in one breath | State the ask early |
| 2–10 | Ground no. 1 with strongest authority | Lead with the best |
| 10–14 | Ground no. 2, answering the obvious reply | Pre-empt the bench |
| 14–16 |
