Mock Trial is a combination of speech, debate, and acting. Students take on the roles of witnesses and attorneys to simulate a trial. Each year the American Mock Trial Association prepares a legal case with witness statements, case law, statutes, and other exhibits. In the first few months of the academic year, teams throughout the United States analyze the case and create arguments for both the plaintiff/prosecution and the defense. Every team has three attorneys and three witnesses and each student is assigned a role: witness, attorney, or both. Teams then compete throughout the remainder of the year by arguing their cases in courtroom settings.

We typically comete in three or four tournaments in the fall, and host the first round of AMTA Regionals (the offical tournaments) in the spring. Not every student competes at the fall tournaments, but most  compete in the spring in an attempt to get to the National tournament in March.

We have had great success in advancing to the National Semi-Finals round, called ORCS. We also have had numerous competitors win individual preformance awards, including at ORCS, making us one of the West Coast's top programs.
