Courtroom Artist Program:
Unleash your creative eye and capture the intense, raw emotion of live litigation in the New Hampshire High School Mock Trial Courtroom Artists Program! Open to all NH high schoolers (grades 9–12)—no mock trial team required—this fast-paced challenge invites you to step into the courtroom gallery, sketch a live trial scene as it unfolds, and transform dynamic legal drama into powerful visual art. You'll have three hours to create a landscape piece (11" x 14") using colored pencils, ink, pastels, or markers. With anonymous judging, a tournament-wide gallery showcase, and awards for the top artists, it’s the perfect stage to test your quick-sketch talents, elevate your portfolio, and document history in the making!
