What is Mock Trial?  

Purpose

The goal of mock trial is not winning. It is to facilitate the growth of the individual student as a person able to work with and support others, as a knowledgeable citizen acquainted with the legal system, and as a community leader working for the betterment of humanity. These goals are met when the student participates at any level of the program. The basic things that we do is you are given a scenario and you have to act it out in a trial situation. You may be a lawyer in which you have to come up with questions and answers for your side in the case. If you are a witness you are given an affidavit and you read and memorize it and other important facts pertaining to the trial.
