The document discusses the development of a virtual courtroom in Second Life by the University of Wales Newport for their social work students. They created the virtual courtroom to allow students to gain experience presenting evidence in court without the high costs of reserving real courtrooms. In the virtual courtroom, students will produce court reports and present evidence based on case scenarios. Law students may also participate by cross-examining social work students. The virtual courtroom will launch in September 2011 and the authors plan to report on its progress in early 2012.
