The students in a middle school of Qingdao in East China’s Shandong province experienced a moot court hearing on June 1.

In the legal education class held at Qingdao Tongji Experimental School students played different roles such as a public prosecutor, a court clerk and a defendant.

The simulation followed real court procedures to teach students about courts and the laws so as to raise their legal awareness.
