Mock Trial allows students to learn about U.S. law and improve their oral advocacy skills through studying a given civil or criminal case, developing an argument, and participating in rehearsed trials against local schools in court.
So really...
At mock trial competitions, you and your teammates will go up against other high school teams to either defend a wrongly convicted citizen or attempt to bring justice to the world by putting a criminal in their rightful place. Acting as either a lawyer or witness, you and your team will present your argument and try to convince a judge why they should rule in your favor.
