Mock Trials

Volunteering for mock trials is a rewarding way to give back to the legal profession while helping to shape the next generation of lawyers. By serving as counsel, witnesses, or jurors, attorneys provide students with a realistic courtroom experience and teach valuable lessons about professionalism, ethics, and advocacy. These programs not only benefit the participants but also strengthen the public’s understanding of the justice system. Volunteers often find the experience energizing and inspiring, as it offers a chance to mentor future attorneys, hone their own communication skills, and connect with colleagues who share a commitment to advancing the practice of law.
