Mock Trial Statement Rubric

The rubric evaluates student mock trial statements on four criteria: citations to court cases and precedents (30 points), persuasive appeals to logic and emotion (30 points), addressing and rebutting counterarguments (20 points), and mechanics such as grammar, spelling and organization (20 points). Strong performances effectively cite multiple relevant sources, appeal to both logic and emotion, anticipate and rebut counterarguments with evidence, and contain few errors. Weaker performances may use fewer or less relevant citations, appeal to only one persuasive method, offer weak rebuttals with little support, and contain multiple errors.
