PHHS Mock Trial

Donation protected

The Santa Clara County Office of Education and the Santa Clara County Bar Association are proud to provide a unique opportunity for high school students to learn what it is like to prepare and present a legal case before the court.

This GoFundMe page is made for the purpose of raising money for the hardworking students of Piedmont Hills who have prepped for this competition to be able to register in the county competition in the Winter which costs $500.

How does High School Mock Trial work? 
Teams of nine to twenty five students study a hypothetical case that is privuded by the Constitutional Rights Foundation (CRF). Teams conduct legal research and receive individual coaching by their school coach and a volunteer attorney in trial preparation, courtroom protocol, courtroom procedure, analysis and communication.

Students who participate in Mock Trial engage in authentic learning experiences that lead to essential life skills, including, but not limited to:
   - The importance of team work and collaboration
   - Oral presentation skills
   - Goal setting
   - Planning
   - Productive argument or persuasion skills
   - Critical thinking skills
   - The ability to face challenging obstacles with enthusiasm, professionalism and confidence

Preparation begins in the fall and culminates for the County competition in February. The winning team represents Santa Clara County at the state competition.

The Santa Clara Mock Trial Invitational will be held on January 31st, 2017 at the Santa Clara County SuperiorCourt from 5-9pm
Registrations are “first paid, first served” basis.
