Keeble Incarcerated

Last weekend I had a lot of fun at the University of Hertfordshire/Hertfordshire Law School roleplaying the defendant in a series of mock trials for the The National Criminal Advocacy Competition. We had 4 trials on the Saturday, each with a prosecution and defence counsel team (obviously I guess) who were assessed (by real judges) on their actual case and performance etc but also how they dealt with witnesses (including me). The final was on Sunday afternoon with the same case, but with us playing our characters differently to spice things up. Met some lovely people, including the ultimate winners Annie Lenton and Jack Moore of Nottingham Law School – in the photo above – who defended me in the final and got recognition for dealing with my particularly hard to handle character who at one point started shouting from the dock!
