Welcome!

Students will receive a comprehensive education concerning the Judicial branch of the government and the legal system of the United States. Students will learn, practice and perform courtroom procedure for both civil and criminal cases, develop character, write and perform direct examination, cross examination, opening statements, closing arguments and explore an exhaustive variety of constitutional issues. Students will develop their own trial strategies and compete in small groups against other schools. Finally, students will learn the California Evidence code and practice objections in various courtroom simulations. Although students will study prior years' cases, they will mainly focus on the assigned competition case for the current school year as assigned by the California Mock Trial Program. 

Students will join the Google Classroom to gain access to resources, assignments, assessments, and class information. 

COMING SOON(ish): students will prepare to participate in the Sacramento County Mock Trial competition.
