Description

Mock Trial offers middle school students a hands-on, real-world introduction to the legal system in a fun, team-based environment. Students will work alongside a real lawyer as they take on the roles of attorneys, witnesses, and court officials, learning how a case is built, argued, and presented. Throughout the program, participants will strengthen critical thinking, teamwork, public speaking, and debate skills. The experience culminates in an exciting final trial held in a real courtroom, giving students the opportunity to apply their skills in an authentic legal setting.
