Mock Trial Attorney Coach

Attorney coaches aid student participants of the Mock Trial as they take case materials including pleadings, legal instructions, affidavits, and evidence to prepare for a simulated jury trial.

Attorney coaches work in conjunction with teacher coaches and other volunteers to help students understand and argue the law applicable to the competition case, prepare effective opening statements, craft and conduct direct and cross examinations, plan and adapt for closing arguments, and understand the use and application of the rules of evidence in all aspects of trial.

The time commitment for attorney coaches can be flexible ranging from regular attendance at team practices to occasional participation as a guest judge for practice trials.

Whatever the level of participation, attorney coaches play a critical role in providing the student participants with a realistic look in the judicial system and trial process.
