For me, the answer is yes. My school is going to be holding a mock trial hopefully Tuesday, but more than likely we need to push back the date due to people consistently not showing up (sick or otherwise).
I'm playing the Prosecution. Really helps that my dad is an attorney.
This is awesome! moar plox!

Played defense, managed to get a not guilty verdict by insufficient evidence. The prosecution guys were quite good, but I managed to throw my share of PW and Umineko quotes and overall geekiness.

I was defence for the first case (and if i do say so myself-I was amazing) and was a defence witness for the second.
The judge for teh first case was biased, though, just because my school's not from Essex ¬.¬ or posh like the other schools that participated.
We won the second case (yay!), mainly because the two defence attorneys we had (James and Jim) were rather awesome.
Just so you know, the first case was about somebody in possession of cannabis and accused with intent to supply.
The second was about a robbery and assult. Though the prosecution couldn't really make a case against the client. x]
Couldn't shout objection at all. No need for it and we'd be kicked out if I did. Dx

Sadly me and my team lost all three trials. The first two was because the defense did a good job but the last one was because the damn 6th grade jury was not paying attention to our cross-examinations.

first i was defence, it was for cheating. i got her not guilty by using her hand writing and dislexy, someone had putted it in her books. after that, the class was pissed off because no one likes her or me, (that's real also..) and then i became prosecutor (because i was the only one who wanted to prove him guilty) for the one whose handwriting was on the not. it was fun, to bad it wasn't real, i was just sitting in English class ..

I had a bonus because my dad's a lawyer for the IRS. He plays both Prosecution and Defense, depending on the trial.

I don't really think AA helps with understanding the legal system...it might help develop interest, but the people who watch TV legal dramas would know a lot more than people who only played AA. In fact, I'd say AA is more misleading than anything else - I can't think of many things that it gets right, besides that there's a prosecutor, defense attorney, and a judge...
My favorite is 1-5: "there are only 2 rules of evidence!" When I told my brother I was contemplating taking evidence, he said "oh, that'll be really easy!" I disagreed, since it's known to be a reasonably difficult class. He replied, "yeah, but there are only 2 rules!" :P He was being facetious, but you get my drift.

Another time was in our schoolbus, my younger schoolmates and I had a trial, with me as the judge and telling them all the rules of a trial, since I'm the only one with Ace Attorney. We had a lot of fun, but the judge left early. (Yes, that was me, I left early because I was the first one to be dropped off at my house.)
So long, in fact, that all of my signatures now exist behind a paywall.
Bummer.

Accused of possession of drugs with intent to sell.
Got like a 13-4 Not Proven Verdict
Was great fun.
Prosecution: So are you saying the police officers lied about what they saw?
Me: (Hmm well they must have)
I guess so yea!Defence: Ugh....implicating police officers lied has higher consequences.
By the end of it the Prosecution was groaning.
All in all considering it was only a two-witness thing, me being one of them I think it went pretty well

The trial will be based on "The Reader" by Bernhard Schlink, so we are kinda replaying a scene from the part when Hanna Schmitz is in court and accused of killing several KZ-prisoners as a KZ-attendant and her lawyer is speaking for her. We modified this scene though, so Michael Berg actually says that Hanna is an illiterate, was tricked about that form she signed and bla bla bla (just read it on wikipedia, guys!)
So anyway, I'm one of the prosecutors because I really really didn't want to be a defense attorney in that case (I kinda feel sorry for the guys who ended up with taking that position :/). We need to point out that Hanna being an illiterate cannot excuse the things she did to the KZ-prisoners. We will also mention that she's just part guilty, since the three other attendants are accused too and tricked her with the form where it's stated that she's the one who's only guilty.
So, we prepared some counter-arguments, questions and wrote a final speech of the prosecution as well today. I really can't wait for the mock trial to start now, I'm kinda curious how we will manage the thing and how the trial will end......and of course, I wanna win and destroy the defense! >:D

Unfortunately, the jury could not follow anything anyone was saying, and the defendant got off scott free.

In hindsight, I shouldn't have paid attention to the teacher's advice. There were things that could have popped up if I'd asked for bits of testimony she pushed us away from...
While I had yet to play Ace Attorney at the time (though I'd certainly heard of it!), I managed to pull off a ridiculous objection: I objected to the defense's nitpicking of the usage of past tense within Daisy's testimony, stating that she was talking about a line she'd already said, so of course she'd use past tense. Unfortunately, I didn't speak or think fast enough to follow through with it
Admittedly, even if I had, the teacher probably would've shot it down, since Daisy really DID use past tense in the book... But still! I could've used that! On the bright side, though, I gave everyone a good laugh!
