Book excerpt: The flashcards and legal photos are visual aids designed to reinforce key concepts covered in the MCAT program's lesson plans for both adults and juveniles. The flashcards are used to convey general legal concepts, court etiquette, and legal defenses, while the legal photos are used to help clients understand the charges brought against them and the evidentiary exploration process.Each flashcard and legal photo have a unique alphanumeric identifier consisting of two letters and a two-digit number, which helps trainers to quickly locate and organize the necessary cards. The first letter of the identifier indicates the category of the card, while the second letter indicates whether it is a flashcard or a legal photo. The distinctive colored borders on both the flashcards and legal photos help with organizing and identifying the cards, making it very easy and efficient to find and file them.The categories are as follows:A: General Legal Knowledge (Green Border)B: Crimes / Delinquencies (Blue Border)C: Law Enforcement (Silver Border)D: Court Personnel (Red Border)E: Court Processes (Gray Border)F: Working with an Attorney (Brown Border)G: Department of Corrections (Yellow Border)H: Tolerate Stress & Behavior Conduct (Orange Border)In most lesson plans, specific recommendations are provided for which flashcards and legal photos to use, while in other cases, trainers are encouraged to use their own judgment to select the most appropriate images based on their experience and the client's needs. Overall, the flashcards and legal photos are designed to provide a visual aid for clients to better understand the concepts covered in the MCAT program, thereby enhancing their competency to stand trial.
