Mock Trial is an activity aimed at providing students the opportunity to increase their communication and presentation skills as well as their legal knowledge. Teams from schools all across the nation compete against one another in "mock," or fake, trials in which students play the parts of attorneys or witnesses.
Each year, the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA) releases a new case for teams to perform and debate. These cases range from criminal cases about attempted murder to civil cases such as last year's where Elias the Chimpanzee went wild on a talk show. Throughout the year, the teams compete in invitationals, Regionals, Opening Round Championships, and the AMTA National Competition in April.
