Harry Cook Social Justice Series hosts Bi-Aannual Mock Trial May 17
The SOAR Lifelong Learning Institute presents the latest installment of The Harry Cook Social Justice Series Bi-Annual Mock Trial. The upcoming event, "Fascism: Can It Happen in America?" will take place on Friday, May 17 from 1-3:30 p.m. at The Hawk Community Center in Farmington Hills. This insightful forum is designed to provoke thoughtful discussion on the resilience of America’s democracy in the face of authoritarian ideologies. Admission is free and the event is open to the public.
As political tensions rise and historical parallels draw concern, this mock trial will explore the authoritarian, ultranationalist ideology of fascism and if those ideologies could infiltrate American governance. The mock proceedings will be managed by Court Officer Steve Kaplan, along with Attorney Sabrina Cronin presiding as judge.
Attorney Joseph Kosmala will argue the potential for fascism in the U.S. against Professor Robert Sedler, who will contend that American institutions are robust enough to withstand such threats. Their arguments will be supported by expert testimony from Attorney Bill Barnwell and Historian Jack, who will delve into the historical and theoretical underpinnings of fascism.
“We are thrilled to be bringing the Harry Cook Social Justice Series Mock Trial back again this year as part of SOAR’s mission to enhance the quality of life of our participants and the community through through-provoking academic education lectures, events, and shared interest groups,” said Debra Yamstein, SOAR executive director.
These trials not only highlight the legal intricacies of historical and current events but also promote civic awareness and participation.
