Mock Trial Workshop
Are you a high school student interested in the legal system and how justice is served? Our six-session Mock Trial Workshop offers a unique, hands-on experience where you’ll step into the roles of attorneys, witnesses, and more as you prepare for a full mock trial.
Over six interactive sessions, you’ll learn the fundamentals of the legal system, develop critical thinking and public speaking skills, and work closely with peers—as well as with Chicago-Kent College of Law students—to argue a real case in a courtroom.
