We Need YOU for Mock Trial!
We’re on the hunt for volunteers, adults, college students, and high schoolers to help with the New Mexico Mock Trial Competitions!
No law degree? Perfect. No experience? Even better.

📷 Mock Trials Bring Civics to Life!
Mock trial isn’t just a competition—it’s hands-on civic education in action. Students step into the shoes of attorneys, witnesses, and jurors to learn how justice really works.

🎃👻 October is here and so is Mock Trial season!
Our students aren’t just putting on costumes this month—they’re stepping into the roles of attorneys, witnesses, and jurors. Every case is a little mysterious, every trial has a touch of drama, and the verdict? Always a treat!

Students in mock trial teams often graduate at higher rates, for example at USCA mock trial participants do significantly better than the avg. 6-year rate. #MockTrialImpact
