If the trial of Luka Rocco Magnotta (followed in the acclaimed documentary Don’t F**k With Cats) shook Montreal, this one should have less impact.

The Jury Experience Montreal lets you sit in the jury box of a mock trial, and use your own judgment to make a big decision.
You’ll meet at the Cabaret Lion d’Or, transformed into a courtroom for the occasion, to get to the bottom of this trial. Within its warm walls, the atmosphere will be less so, and tension will invade the room.
