2018-2019 MOCK TRIAL TEAM COMPETITION

STUDENTS

With the assistance of a Teacher Coach and an Attorney Coach, the Mock Trial and Competition actively engages students from local high schools. Students experience the excitement of working in teams, exchanging ideas, setting goals, and examining issues while interacting with positive role models from their communities. By studying the case and preparing strategies and arguments for trial, students also develop presentation skills, analytic ability, and team cooperation. A typical Mock Trial team consists of 8 to 20 students.

-Emma Harloe

"I loved the case, my favorite part of the experience was making my own truth of the case. It was especially interesting to see how arguments are presented in a court setting."

-Cyan Vang

"When I first read the summary for the People v. Klein case I already had a suspect in mind. But then I was in the Defense Counsel and was like, 'Oh no, my client is guilty.' And so I took my personal time outside Mock Trial to delve deeper into the case."

-Kryzel Jhae Dequito
