More info: Each year, the MU School of Law’s Historical and Theatrical Trial Society stages a mock trial of a historical event that was never tried in its time. This year, controversial abolitionist John Brown is the focus.

Some thought he was a hero. Some, a terrorist. Abolitionist John Brown, who used armed insurrection in his fight against slavery, remains a controversial figure in 19th century American history.

This Thursday, the MU law school's Historical and Theatrical Trial Society will present a historical mock trial of the United States vs. John Brown.

The trial will explore whether John Brown was a terrorist or a patriot, applying modern law to historical facts.
