We Are Hosting Our First Live Event, and We Want You There!

Something big is happening next Saturday, and we have been waiting to tell you about it!

On October 10th, Mind on Trial is hosting its very first live event as part of Youth Justice Action Month 2026. It is called Decoded: A Youth, Brain, and Justice Event, and it is 90 minutes of the most interesting conversation we know how to have.

Here is how it works: You show up. We hand you a real, ongoing case, one where the outcome has not been decided yet. You vote on what you think should happen, right now, before you know anything else. Then we walk through it together using the Neuro-Legal Case Analysis Framework, the three-lens method Mind on Trial was built on, looking at the forensic evidence, the brain science behind the behavior, and what the law is actually doing. You vote again. And then we debate the question that is dividing neuroscientists and legal scholars right now.

No background required. No textbooks. Just your brain and an open mind!

This event is part of YJAM's United for Youth Leadership theme, and it reflects what we actually believe, it's more than a label. The students in this conversation are not too young to think about these questions seriously. They never were.

The event is free and open to students everywhere in the world. If your time zone makes the live session hard to attend, register anyway. We will send the full recording to everyone who signs up within 24 hours after the event!

Come think with us.
