Shakespeare Trial 2025: Much Ado About Nothing?

The Shakespeare Trial is back! In Much Ado About Nothing, is Leonata, the mother of Hero, guilty of a crime when she publishes fake news about her daughter's death?

Erwin Chemerinsky (Berkeley Law) will face off with Bernadette Meyler '06 (Stanford Law). New Swan actors will present the evidence (and preview our season). The Honorable Andrew Guilford will preside, with a welcome by Austen Parrish, Dean of UCI Law. There will be music, too! You are the jury at this interactive theatrical event.
