Committee Introduction

At this year’s Boğaziçi Advanced Conference, participants will engage in an immersive legal simulation centered on one of the most debated criminal trials in modern history: The People v. O.J. Simpson. This simulation is designed not merely as a reenactment, but as a dynamic and analytical courtroom exercise that blends legal reasoning with forensic investigation. Participants will take on the roles of legal professionals and investigators as they examine the facts, dissect witness testimonies, evaluate forensic evidence, and explore the broader implications of media, race, and public perception surrounding the case. Structured to resemble a crime-solving experience, this simulation will challenge attendees to think critically, act strategically, and collaborate effectively—just as in a real-life trial. This is not just an academic exercise. It is an opportunity to test your legal instincts and uncover the deeper truths of a case that continues to provoke discussion worldwide.
