What is Mock Trial?
Mock Trial is a competitive team event that utilizes role-playing as attorneys, witnesses, and more to build critical thinking and public speaking skills. Every member must collaborate with each other to prepare the best performance of the case.
​
It simulates a real-life court case, created by a legal team each year. Each teammate will be individually scored by a legal practitioner on their performance, as well as ruling over their trial.
About the Program
This program is geared towards training middle school students (grades 6-8) to compete in Mock Trial competitions and introduce them to law. Students will learn public speaking skills, foster a genuine enjoyment in law and justice, and improve their critical thinking abilities while learning about the role race plays in the legal system.
This program runs for approximately 2 months and students will have the opportunity to compete at a Mock Trial competition judged by law professionals. Instructors are from Dougherty Valley High School and are on their school's competitive Mock Trial team.
