What is Mock Trial?
Mock Trial helps high school students
develop a deeper understanding of the
law through a lively competition that
begins in one of 32 district competitions.
Depending on the scoring of each team’s
work — including acting as lawyers
presenting each side of a case, witnesses
and jurors — the teams advance
to regional, state and even national
competition. Mock Trial includes:
