Thanks for the time and effort that is put into this by all of the lawyer volunteers and you, the folks at the center. What a great program. All parents tell me: “I wish they had this when I was in school.
Mock Trial provides high school students with an opportunity to learn about the legal system and develop skills that will be beneficial to any future career choice.
High school students gain an impressive amount of knowledge about their government and history through this program. Their participation will make them better, more informed citizens down the road.
"This is the only conference I consistently attend. I always get re-inspired to go teach. The conference provides a great opportunity to network with other civics, government and law teachers to share ideas and get new ones!"
This program has been one of the greatest experiences of my high school career.
We the People has expanded my speaking abilities, as well as my confidence in front of others. I felt proud of my opening essay, as well as my ability to back up my beliefs.
An organization solely dedicated to preparing active and informed members of society.
