V. Развитие навыков чтения с детальным пониманием прочитанного.
- The climax of the legal proceedings is the trial. Read the following text about the trial and say whether the following statements are true/false.
A trial may be defined as a judicial examination of the issues between the parties. Although some variations may exist, trials are usually held before a judge sitting alone, a referee, or a judge and jury. The counsels for the prosecution and for the defence make opening statements to the jury, outlining what each sees as the nature of the case and what each hopes to prove as the trial proceeds.
Next, the counsel for the prosecution presents his case by calling witnesses, questioning them, and permitting them to be cross-examined by the counsel for the defence. The counsel for each side then makes a closing argument to the jury, summarizing the evidence in a light most favourable to their respective clients.
The function of the jury is to determine the facts of the case, whereas the function of the judge is to determine the applicable law and to observe the parties’ presentation of the facts to the court.
After the judge has instructed the jury on the applicable law, the jury will retire to deliberate in private until it reaches a just verdict, which will then be announced in open court. The verdict of a jury terminates the trial. In a case tried before a judge sitting alone, the decision of the judge constitutes a termination of the trial.
1. Criminal trials are always held in front of a jury.
2. A judge may sit alone to hear a legal case.
3. At the beginning of the trial both counsels outline their case.
4. The counsel for the defence may cross-examine prosecution witnesses.
5. The function of the jury is to decide the applicable law.
6. The judge may intervene if the counsels on either side fail to observe the court procedures.
7. The judge advises the jury on the law relevant to the case.
8. The jury discusses their verdict in open court.
Keys: 1-false, 2-true, 3-true, 4-true, 5-false, 6-true, 7-true, 8-false

VII. Тренировка навыков работы в группе. Активизация навыков устной речи на основе прочитанного материала.
- Now let’s work with a real case. Read it, please.
Margie Mortimer, 45, married her husband Richard when she was just sixteen. Richard turned out to be a violent, cruel and abusive husband who routinely beat Margie and their five children. Over the years, Richard succeeded in knocking out Margie’s front teeth, breaking several of her ribs, dislocating her shoulder and keeping her covered in bruises. After a particularly severe beating two months ago, Margie finally decided she has taken enough abuse. That night Richard came home drunk. After he had passed out on the sofa, Margie took a gun and shot him in the head and chest. After making sure he was dead, Margie called the police and told them what she had done. Margie had no previous criminal record.
- Work in group of three. Decide what the main arguments are in favour of the prosecution and what the main arguments are in favour of the defence. Write them down.
Defendant:
Arguments for the prosecution:
1
2
3
4
5
Arguments for the defence:
1
2
3
4
5
- Now imagine that this case has gone to court and it’s the last day of the trial. One person in your group is the public prosecutor, one person is the defence lawyer, and one person is the defendant. Each of you must make a closing statement to the court. The prosecutor must argue for the maximum punishment. The defence lawyer must argue for a lesser punishment or an acquittal. The defendant may ask for the mercy of the court. The jury (your fellow students) will decide the defendant’s fate.
VIII. Подведение итогов урока.
- Let’s return to the video about Justin Bieber. What is your attitude to his case?
(Учащиеся высказывают свои мнения)
- All people, famous or infamous, are subjects to the same laws of justice. Law also raises important and complex issues concerning equality, fairness and justice. The law and the judges must treat everyone equally before the law without any privilege.
- That brings us to the end. The lesson is over. Goodbye, dear pupils.
IX. Домашнее задание.
– Use the language from this lesson in a piece of your own writing. Write two paragraphs (each 60-75 words) giving your opinion on the case of Margie Mortimer or Justin Bieber. One paragraph should be in support of the defendant, the other - against.
