Screengrab from https://www.port.ac.uk/about-us/our-facilities/teaching-and-learning-spaces/replica-courtroom Text says: The courtroom has a witness stand, a jury box, a public gallery and a dock for defendants. There are 4 ceiling mounted cameras, so exercises can be filmed, analysed and reflected on later. Courtroom exercises can also be streamed to other seminar rooms for viewing and analysis. Students use the replica courtroom to develop skills needed as a lawyer or barrister, such as speaking confidently, persuasion, negotiation and argumentation. The courtroom is also an ideal location for students to practice skills such as arguing a point under stressful circumstances, being able to address groups of people and being confident under pressure.
