Mock
Trial as Method

n-Space fellows from Somerset House Studios lead a workshop that develops and builds on the methodologies applied in Trial Trial, a mock trial staged in April 2026. The trial asked whether a company that designs and sells an AI system to a military bears legal responsibility when the system foreseeably contributes to civilian deaths. Participants watch an extract of the original filmed court hearing with the verdict omitted, discuss the evidence as a surrogate jury, and take part in a mapping session and presentation moderated by an invited legal expert. Applications close 15 Nov.
