Andy is Chief Executive of the Citizenship Foundation: the UK’s largest provider of school-based
education on the law, economy and politics. He has been with the organisation for nearly ten years, overseeing the historic Mock Trial competitions whose 22 year legacy has secured an annual
engagement of around 600 state secondary schools.
Andy Thornton explains the role played by the Mock Trial Competition in opening up the Bar as a career for so many – and the funding issues now faced.
It is the fourth of December and the line-up of this year’s Bar National Mock Trial final has just been announced. 2,000 students in 160 schools across the UK, helped by 300 barristers and advocates and assessed by 90 judges have been reduced to 16 teams ready for the final showdown in Cardiff Crown Court on 22 March 2014. Please come and watch.
