Fresno County High School Mock Trial Competition

The Mock Trial is a simulation of an original criminal court case with high school students playing the courtroom roles. The event is designed to demystify the workings of our legal institutions for young people. Students will be given a court case that incorporates roles of various abilities. Teams of high school students will present the case in the courtrooms of the Fresno County Courthouse before presiding judges and attorneys who evaluate each team’s performance. All Fresno County high schools are invited to participate in the competition.
