Mock Trial Team Information
Mock Trial is a program sponsored by the Minnesota State Bar Association. The students take on roles of lawyers, witnesses, bailiff, and timekeeper. The season starts in October and continues through February or March.
Students develop analytical skills, speaking skills and develop an understanding of courtroom decorum and procedures. All grade 9-12 are welcome.
Students who participate can earn a letter if they meet all requirements during the season. There is an activity fee to participate and all team members must register on Affinety for Mock Trial.
