Mock Trial Program8/30/2020 Program Name: Mock Trial Program Type: Student Age: High school student Program Overview: In cooperation with Richmond-area high schools, we operate after-school Mock Trial programs serving diverse and disadvantaged youth. Practicing attorneys coach students in how to conduct a criminal trial as a team, fostering their analysis and public presentation skills. Each school’s team competes against other high schools in an annual county-wide competition, with students playing the roles of attorneys and witnesses in front of real judges. The students have the opportunity to compete in a rigorous setting that has traditionally included only students from affluent backgrounds, and they discover the satisfaction that comes from hard work, teamwork, and mastery. They benefit from greater self-confidence, academic and practical skills, and higher academic aspirations. The mock trial teams also have a positive affect on the entire school community, by building excitement and recognition around an academically rigorous activity. Estimated Program Date: TBD by high school law academy Eligibility and Requirements: - Student MUST be in the law academy at De Anza High school For more details, student should contact leading teacher for the mock trial program Website: Click here to visit the official website
