    What is Mock Trial?
     
    The Mock Trial team is given a fake court case that the team must argue from both sides - from both the prosecution's perspective and the defense's perspective.  The student-led team decides on the best way to argue this case.  Each student is given a role - lawyer, witness, or jury member - and the students compete against other high schools in a real courtroom setting.  While students are encouraged to figure out the case on their own, the Mock Trial team works with a lawyer who attends meetings weekly to help with the more difficult aspects of the case.
     
    Mock Trial helps students understand the importance of the law and the impact law has on society.  It encourages students to think on their feet and helps them develop critical thinking skills.
     
    If you are interested in a career in law or criminal justice, Mock Trial is an amazing experience.  It's also great for college applications and is a fun opportunity for anyone that enjoys acting.
