Want to practice your mock trial skills in a friendly semi-competitive way?
As Oregon High School Mock Trial teams prepare for the Regional Competitions, they may want a chance to practice their courtroom moves, receive feedback from judges and get a feel for how they work together as a team in the trial environment. Below, we suggest a couple of ways teams can practice prior to their Regional Competition trials.
Mini Mock
2024-25 Mini Mock Case Materials
TYPO CORRECTION: Hammond bought the zoo in 2012. But in Hammond’s affidavit, p. 17, it says 2002. It should read “2012”
Mini Mock is for teams interested in practicing their skills in a live event, offering competing teams the opportunity to practice both sides of a case (Prosecution/Plaintiff and Defense) in a low stakes atmosphere that is focused on learning and growing as a competitor. Each team will participate in two trials and receive feedback from coaches serving as judges.

Mock Trial Scrimmages
Scrimmages are a great way for teams to gain experience prior to Regional competitions. Connecting with other Mock Trial teams in a low-stakes, friendly environment to practice courtroom strategies affords teams an informal way to gain experience competing without all the logistical requirements associated with hosting a larger-scale Invitational or Mini Mock Competition.
