Mock Trial

This year, ten high schools competed in the annual event which is coordinated by the Stanislaus County Office of Education.

Each year’s trial cases are outlined by Teach Democracy (formerly Constitutional Rights Foundation). Volunteer attorneys and judges were called on to support the competition. A total of 40 community attorneys served as scorers for the competition and eight judges presided over trials throughout the four nights of competition. Thank you to the following offices and organizations as well as many local law offices for their support in the recruiting of volunteers to serve as presiding judges and attorney scorers: The Stanislaus County Bar Association, Stanislaus County Office of the County Counsel, Stanislaus County Office of the District Attorney, Stanislaus County Office of the Public Defender, the Superior Court of Stanislaus County, and the Wray Ladine Inn of Court.

The Mock Trial Championship round took place on February 11 between Modesto High and Gregori High Schools. Congratulations to Gregori High School's team who won and advanced to represent Stanislaus County at the State Mock Trial competition held on March 14-16 in Los Angeles.
