Thank You to the 2017 Mock Trial Volunteers

The Contra Costa County Office of Education produced another successful Mock Trial during February 2017. Teams from local high schools work with teacher- and attorney-coaches to prepare their version of the criminal case from both the prosecution and defense perspective. Students assume the roles of trial attorneys, pretrial motion attorneys, witnesses, clerks and bailiffs. In addition to a competition as attorneys, students also participate in contests as courtroom artists and courtroom journalists.
