The mock trial will take place next Tuesday, says a note from a John Jay publicist, and "the verdict will be reached two days later. Andrew Kauftnan, an English professor at the school, has assigned students to research and act out "the significant courtroom roles in the case.

I dont think its appropriate putting the spotlight on the case before it comes to trial, assuming it ever does come to trial. tion for the strong-woman role? Says Jenrette: "Actually, Td like to be the associate producer. POLITICAL DINING. It was a beautiful restaurant with superb French-Belgian food, but.it wasnt what Michael J.

Lazar had in mind- When Lazar, who had been a Queens councilman and the citys taxi commissioner, bought St. Jean des Pres, down on Duane Street near City Hall, he wanted to make it a gathering place for politicos much like the old Longchamps on nearby Broadway once had been. So hes changing the menu (quite a lot) and the decor (Americanizing it, but not too much), and looking for a new name. Lazar throw a party the other night, and 225 people snowed up to help him rename hn place. Among than- Manhattan Borough President-elect David Dinkins, Queens Borough President Donald Manes and Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden.

Some sug-. gestions were "Off the Record, a with all Scene (thats for see and be seen); "Bar Lazar; "Le Ear's, and, when everybody ran out of ideas, somebody offered "Jimmy Walkers, 1 after New Yorks legendary playboy-mayor. No one suggested what sounds most like a political gathering place to us: "No rousing, standing ovation: Theyve come up with ajilan for Papps rent-free use of the Belasco Theater. The Shubert-owned jewel of a house on West 44th Street has been dark for a long time, and the scheme to get the lights back up is for Papp to present Shakespearean and possibly other productions to school audiences. "The future of theater in New York depends on the use of theaters not keeping them tied exclusively into a hit-and-flop milieu," says Papp.

Hell be meeting about the plan tomorrow with representatives of theatrical unions. Hell use young professional actors for the Belasco productions, he said, and will be coming up with new, creative ways to finance the shows. "Theres no plan yet for playing before the general public, Papp added. "Were looking at another theater for that." How long is the rent-free Belasco deal for? Papp says, "As far as Tm concerned, as long as we are able to keep going. Without Papp, it seems, thered hardly be any New York theater.

THIS IS JUSTICE? Journalists are sometimes criticized for writing too much about sensational criminal cases, which may make it difficult for a defendant to get a fair trial. Now along comes the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, which we think should know better, inviting us to report on a mock trial in the case of The TV NEWSWOMEN TALK. Seven TV newswomen talked two hours with Phil Donahue yesterday (part two was on today) about how high women in their field have risen there are no women anchors on the networks wee knight newscasts and few in top news-management or production positions. Afterward, we asked some what they thought of the discussion. "None of us wanted whiney, gri-pey sessions, Joan Lunden of "Good Morning, America said.

"What raised our hackles most was a man in the audience who said, 'I view news shows as entertainment thats why I watch Kathleen Sullivan early mornings on ABC. Sullivan, of course, is stunning in addition to being a complete news pro. CNNs Mazy Alice Williams: "We ended taking heart from the positive growth, but not to the exclusion of problems that still exist. "Todays Jane Pauley: "ABCs Carole Simpson is right wanting to explore her full potential. If shes denied, shes right to feel as she does.

Even with things better, men have the most power and big money because theyre in management. Wasnt the "Donahue discussion circuitous? Pauleys last word to us: "Thats why these things are railed round-table TREKK1E PROTESTS. Weve had several calls from angry Trekkies, those viewers for whom the TV age began and ended with "Star Trek" (1966-69). Why, they demand, are the umpteenth repeats of the sci-fi series on Ch. 11 being "usurped by junk shows like how to get rich in real estate," as one put it.

We asked WPIX-TV whether interga lactic villains are blacking out the adventures of CapL James Kirk (William Shatner) and the long-eared Spock (Leonard Nimoy). "Occasionally, says spokesman Marty Appel, "our salesmen bring in time buys, where an organization buys a whole half hour fbr its own program. Unfortunately, they often come too late to change the newspaper listings, so theres no warning. But Trekkies arent calling as much as VCR users trying to tape the two oclock movie; theyre going crazy because the time shift means they lose 80 minutes of the movie. Jenrette: A character in her own book? doesnt have to jump off the Empire State Building to describe how it feels, says she.

"My parents were astute business people I grew up in that environment.4 Besides, shes a cum lauds graduate of Texas University, and is now marketing director for a Wall Street firm. "Its almost as though Ive become a character in my own book, Jenrette says. "One of my characters is a strong woman in an executive position, but I had no idea when I took this job that it would mirror what I wrote in 'Conglomerate. It will be published in mid-January, and it could become a television miniseries, says Jenrettes agent, Nick Ellison. Would she audi RITA'S FICTION.

Her first novel is called "Conglomerate, Rita Jenrette tells us: "An exciting murder mystery-adventure revolving around a huge conglomerate, with a sinister, wealthy, powerful person who will stop at nothing to take over the company. What does an ex-wife of an ex-congressman (John Jenrette, jailed in the Abscam sting), a woman who posed for Playboy and starred in a horror movie what can Rita know about high-and-low finance?
