Mock Trial

Mock Trial Competition Description:

Each trial team will consist of four students: two attorneys and two witnesses. Team members may change roles between sessions. The competition will be judged by the members of SFTLA. They will score according to the criteria provided. High-speed court reporting students or newly licensed court reporters will report the trials and provide rough draft transcripts. Thank you to Ana Fatima Costa for coordinating this.

The morning competition will begin at 8:30 a.m. The afternoon session will begin at 1:30 p.m. Winners will be based on the highest average score across both sessions, eliminating the highest and lowest scores for each team in each session. We will reconvene to announce the winning team after the afternoon session has been completed.

Instructions to join will be emailed to you prior to the event.
