During this week-long, half-day experience, high school students argue a moot court case as if before the Supreme Court. They learn skills that justices and attorneys ​use by meeting and working with a variety of legal professionals. The moot court case for 2016 involves police entering the backyard of a suspected marijuana grow house without a warrant. Was this warrantless search unconstitutional? Or did it fall under an exception to the Fourth Amendment? Participants will argue and decide. Please contact Rachael L. Drenovsky, drenovskyr@courts.mi.gov or 517-373-5027, with any additional questions.
