In a Pittsfield courtroom on Tuesday afternoon, a different kind of case was heard: a fictional one.

The attorneys, on either side, were middle schoolers.

For the second straight year, students at Reid Middle School participated in a proceeding through the Discovering Justice Mock Trial Program. The program provided volunteer attorneys to 34 middle schools across the commonwealth, accounting for more than 400 students statewide.
