Those in the court took part in a mock trial before entering the public gallery to sit in on an ongoing case concerning Shell Oil and a spill off the coast of Nigeria.
This was followed by a walking tour of Parliament Square, Downing Street, and Trafalgar Square.

Whilst wandering they took advantage of being surrounded by numerous protests and discussed issues with those campaigning.

The students on the parliament tour saw both houses in action and had a workshop about Active Citizenship and how people throughout history have moulded the nature of democracy in the UK.

The groups then rejoined for a wander through St James Park to Buckingham Palace.

The students were all brilliantly behaved and engaged throughout.

Potential future political leaders and legal eagles amongst them!
