The Planning Stage: Were you able to
plan well? What were your strengths? What were the hurdles? What could you do
better in the future?

prepared sitting against your opponent team? How did you feel emotionally? Were
you able to put your point across? How was communication between the teams?

Key takeaways
While the plaintiff
and defendant team will reflect upon the issue of preparedness and justice for
their client, the judges will reflect upon their preparedness and award. The
observers will discuss what the teams should have done and what they did.
Further, the observers will discuss their learnings and key takeaways.
The Reflection will
follow the ORID Model of reflection on all your learning and takeaways from the
Mock Trial Experience. Read further to understand what is the “ORID”
model of writing.
The purpose of this
analysis is to provide you with the opportunity to critically examine your
learnings and experience from the arbitration simulation. The reflection should
follow the ORID model of reflection. It needs to have these four headers:
Objective, Reflective, Interpretive, and Decisional.
In other words, your
analysis should include four levels that will encourage critical thinking and
offer a guide to processing your experience. Try to thoroughly answer the
questions and provide examples where needed.
A. Objective
This part of your
analysis will include descriptions of your real experience: What were your
learning objectives? What was your goal and what were the roadblocks? What
resources did you have?
This part will be
about information- key facts etc. and will be like the topic/thesis statement
for your reflection
B. Reflective
This part of your
analysis will focus on how you felt or interpreted your experience. Please
provide a context for these feelings by providing examples from your
experience. How did you feel at the beginning of your experience? Enlightened?
Confused? Amazed? Stressed? Uncertain? What was the most enjoyable/frustrating
part of the experience? What went well, what did not? Mistakes and reflections
and those mistakes?
C. Interpretive
This part of your
analysis will focus on what you learned from your experience. What did you
learn? Why? Why not? What did you think about it? Did your experience make you
change the way you thought about the particular issue? What worked, what
didn’t? Why was your experience important?
D. Decisional
This part of your
analysis will explore how you will incorporate your new knowledge into your
current state of mind. What decisions have you made based on your experience?
Have you changed any of your beliefs, opinions, and truths? How are you going
to use this new knowledge in the future?
Your Reflection will
be 5 pages – written with standard APA formatting – Times New Roman, 12,
double.
