What is the 2017 Dallas Bar State Mock Trial Championship?

Thousands of high school students in Texas participate every year in this highly competitive academic competition. Each year, the Dallas Bar Mock Trail Competition provides students with the opportunity to work alongside professional lawyers and judges to get a real understanding of the American judicial system.

“I’ve been privileged to serve a judge for 30 years.  The level of skill and the strength of commitment shown by the teams have been consistently impressive.  Whatever profession these young people pursue, it is a pleasure to watch them in action as advocates and witnesses”Eben Price, State Farm Insurance Companies

Creekview Scores Impressive Win Over Impressive Teams

The Dallas Bar State Mock Trial Competition is open to all high school students – public, private and home school.
