Criminal Procedure Project for Law School Students

10 May 2026

Caucasus University and Legis Academy invite students of the Caucasus University School of Law to take part in a large-scale project the Spring 2026 season.

 

Would you like to step into the role of a prosecutor, defense lawyer, or juror?

 

This project offers a unique opportunity to transform theoretical knowledge into practical experience through participation in a mock criminal trial based on a high-profile case.

 

Throughout the project, participants will:

 

  • gain insight into the structure of criminal proceedings;
    • assume the roles of prosecutor, defense lawyer, witness, and juror;
    • work on the materials of a high-profile criminal case — the Khorava Street murder case;
    • explore the distinctive features of authentic investigative records;
    • with the guidance of mentors, learn how to develop legal strategy, prepare witnesses effectively, and strengthen their practical skills in a focused and meaningful way.

 

Project schedule:

 

First week – 10 May
Lecture: “The Course of Criminal Proceedings,” including role allocation and an introduction to the instructions.

Second week – 17 May
Mock criminal trial.

 

Please note that the number of places is limited.
