About the San Diego County Mock Trial Competition
The mission of the San Diego County High School Mock Trial Competition is to foster understanding and respect for the American legal system and for the rule of law. The competition develops high school students into better informed citizens by familiarizing them with our Constitution and Bill of Rights. The competition enhances students’ ability to think critically, communicate effectively and work together.
The competition is administered by the San Diego County High School Mock Trial Committee, representing local law agencies and organizations and the state and federal courts. Committee members devote hundreds of hours of volunteer time, as well as resources and expertise, to organize and conduct the annual competition. The competition is mostly funded by private donations and gifts of volunteer time. Learn more on how you can support the San Diego County High School Mock Trial Competition by making a donation.
