Birkbeck Law Forum Presents: Santa v. The Grinch Charity Mock Trial
TBC Birkbeck, Malet St, London
Free
A festive mock trial where Santa takes the Grinch to court! Join Birkbeck students, legal experts, and Judge for witty arguments, surprise witnesses, and holiday chaos all to support Student Minds. Jury verdict needed!
Birkbeck Students get ready to enter the most spirited courtroom of the season as Santa Claus brings a festive legal battle against the notorious Grinch! With accusations ranging from Christmas disruption to outright cheer sabotage, this is a case that could change the holiday forever.
In this special mock trial, solicitors from Squire Patton Boggs will take on the roles of both prosecution and defence, bringing real-world legal expertise (and a dash of holiday drama) to the courtroom. Presiding over the case is Judge Daniel Monk, ready to keep order as things get both merry and mischievous.
And the most important role of all? You are the jury. Your verdict will help decide whether the Grinch is truly guilty of ruining Christmas joy, or simply misunderstood.
But beyond the festive fun, this event has a deeper purpose.
We know the holiday season can be incredibly difficult for many students, and support is needed more than ever. That’s why we’re hosting this mock trial to raise money for Student Minds, the UK’s student mental health charity. If you’re able to or would like to contribute, it can make a meaningful difference.
