The Santa Cruz Mock Trial competition proceeds over the course of three days. Approximately 10 local judges and commissioners volunteer to preside over the competition, making decisions regarding the running of the trial, rulings on pretrial arguments, competition violations, and announcing the verdict. The students are scored on team sportsmanship, presentation skills, analytic ability, and team cooperation. Locally, over 20 attorneys volunteer as competition scorers and are given specific scoring criteria. Mock Trial teams receive guidance in courtroom procedures and trial preparation from volunteer attorney coaches. Through performance-based education, these students further their knowledge of our judicial system, history, content and conduct of our legal system, analytical abilities, communication skills, and team cooperation. Nearly 8,000 students throughout the state of California participate in local Mock Trial competitions. February 2011 marked the 22st Annual Santa Cruz County Mock Trial. Mock Trial is coordinated by Law Related Education Programs in collaboration with the Santa Cruz County Bar Association, Superior Court of California Santa Cruz, and the Santa Cruz Trial Lawyers Association. After receiving the case in early fall, Mock Trial students dedicate a tremendous amount of time and effort preparing for the February competition. Participants develop critical thinking skills, confidence in public speaking, and knowledge of legal practices and procedures.
