What is the History of Mock Trial?

Since the early 1980’s, the Michigan Center for Civic Education has run the Michigan High School Mock Trial Tournament with a focus on bringing law-related civic education to students through a challenging, stimulating, and educational event.

Each year, the students are presented with a complex fact pattern that draws upon historical events, trials of contemporary interest, school or classroom situations, or hypothetical and entertaining fact patterns. At the bottom of the page, you can find a list of historic Mock Trial State Final Champions since 1983.
