Mock Trial
The competition is a law-focused program designed to provide high school students with an operational understanding of substantive and procedural legal issues and the judicial process. Mock trials involve preparing for and participating in simulated trials for which high school students prepare and practice. The program is a challenging and exciting learning experience that gives students first-hand knowledge of courtroom procedures.
In the spring, teams participate in one of two regional competitions in at least two rounds of competition, both prosecuting and defending the case. Each team consists of three student attorneys and three student witnesses. The top teams from each regional tournament compete at the state tournament.
