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

Mock Trial has helped me learn about the processes in which a lawyer or witness needs to do during a real court case. You learn how to build questions and be able to object, practicing tons of public speaking skills! You also get to have tons of experience and it's really good for your college applications. Plus, if you're into drama, you can do acting because you have to get into character as a witness.
