Members of the team have the opportunity to compete in a simulated court case with other schools in the area. Team roles include lawyers, witnesses, bailiff, and timekeeper. The season concludes with a regional and state tournament. In addition, students may letter in Mock Trial and can earn National Forensic League points through participation.
The Mock Trial Season runs from October through February. Generally the team meets after school on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. In addition, several scrimmages are held in the evening in December, the team participates in several weekend tournaments in January, and the team competes in the Mississippi 8 Conference in January. In late January and early February, regional competitions are held around the state, in courthouses, where actual judges score the competition. The State Tournament is held in early March. Team members with witness and attorney roles can expect to commit several hours each week, outside of the team meetings to prepare for competitions.
