Maryland Carey Law Students Step into Shoes of Lawyers in ‘The State of Oz v. Dorothy Gale’
The University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law, in partnership with the Hippodrome Foundation, hosted an inspiring event for Baltimore City and Baltimore County middle school students on Dec. 18.
The program featured a unique educational experience designed to introduce young learners to the legal system in a fun and engaging way. Students were treated to a special mock trial, "The State of Oz v. Dorothy Gale: A Fairy Tale Trial," presented by the law school’s National Trial Team. This whimsical case centered on Dorothy Gale, who stood accused of murdering the Wicked Witch by dropping her house on her. The trial featured testimony from beloved characters including the Wizard of Oz and Glinda the Good.
