2023 Mock Trial Finals

Carmel High School takes on Stevenson School for the Mock Trial Finals at the Monterey County Courthouse.
The Mock Trial Program is an exciting law-related educational program that introduces high school students (grades 9-12) to the American legal system. Mock trials are structured like "real" court trials and follow the same rules. The program pairs students with mentors from the legal community. Through one-on-one interactions with attorney coaches, a student's understanding of the law is greatly enhanced.Through role-playing, students gain an understanding of our judicial system--what roles judges, lawyers, juries and witnesses play in the system. Additionally, students develop critical thinking and public speaking skills and a working knowledge of our legal practices and procedures.

    These kids did so great! I am in 8th grade and I have a Mock trial today. I am a prosecution attorney doing a cross exam and closing argument. I am hoping to do as good as these guys did! update: it's a few weeks after the debate...my team VERY unfairly lost. everyone agrees that we should have won, we absolutely crushed it!

    Win and lose aside, how do you feel that you yourself did performance wise? Do you feel that you showed and demonstrated the proper skills? If you did, that’s still a win in my book

    Thoroughly enjoyed watching the Mock Trial Finals between Carmel High School and Stevenson School! It's evident that the students poured a significant amount of effort into preparing for their roles, showcasing not just their understanding of legal procedures but also their public speaking skills. While the trial had its Hollywood-esque moments and the portrayals may not fully capture the gravitas seen in real courtrooms, the educational value and entertainment provided were unmistakable. Kudos to all the students involved for their dedication and hard work. It’s clear that such experiences are invaluable in understanding the legal system and developing critical thinking. Well done to everyone involved!

    A lot of times if judge wants to be unfair he will not make a ruling on the objection, so you have to make the judge make a ruling for the record.

    If I am a defense attorney doing a pretrial motion, do I have to quote other cases? Or does arguing my point suffice... I notice here they have alternate examples of similar cases to back up their standing and opinion.

    This Mock Trial competition is held by the Teach Democracy/Constitutional Rights Foundation. They provide a case packet that includes the pretrial arguments both sides should be making, including a set of cases with similar issues for attorneys to reference. You are scored on your use of the cases. Judges will also ask many questions about the cases provided, as the judge does here. So, no, making the argument on its own is not enough. You need to back it up with case law. Not doing so would severely lower your score.

    Can someone correct me if I’m wrong.? Was the defendants first argument to have the evidence removed that the actor understood her rights but misled to believe she had no choice but to relinquish them. Would a better argument have been she actually didn’t know her right. Could it not be argued that had she had actually understood her rights and what the cop had said it would’ve been in her best interest to maintain her position and stop the search until the warrant was present? Like she’s an actress. The law is debated amongst professionals everyday. I mean how many people call freedom of speech but don’t really know how to apply it. Saying “I know my rights” dramatically as an actor would is not an accurate declaration if she doesn’t actually know her rights. If she was not explained her rights and asked if she understood, there is no real way of determining. She could be explained the situation and said “oh, I didn’t know that, she didn’t tell me that. If I had know that I wouldn’t have don’t it” and that would disprove there argument against right saying that she declared “I know my rights” out of ignorance and not because she actually understood them or lied. The responsibility should fall more on the officer (knowing the law) to make sure and understand that an Oman that was not in distress understood her rights. The cop could’ve given her space and then came back in and fully explained her rights. The cop was at fault. She had the responsibility to inform, she force the scene to be seen as a threat by blocking the door and she did not submit the forms. If the forms weren’t even getting approved. Fill g out the paperwork without submitting it means nothing to a court. If it stayed in that state she could not accurately claim she would get in them if they liked it or not. Nah wild call throw it out
