www.sfbar.org/mocktrial The Mock Trial program is an inter-scholastic competition where high school students try a hypothetical criminal case. Many of the students are diverse and come from under-served schools. Lawyers from the San Francisco legal community volunteer to coach the fundamentals of persuasive public speaking and evidence advocacy, demonstrate techniques and critique the students in preparation for the city-wide competition. The program was created to help students acquire a working knowledge of our judicial system, develop analytical abilities and communication skills, and gain an understanding of their obligations and responsibilities as participating members of our society. Students build their intellectual skills, gain confidence in their ability to present and support an argument, and often open their eyes to the possibilities offered by college, law school, and a career in law. www.sfbar.org/mocktrial
