Mock Trial
Mock Trial is designed to give students an inside perspective of the legal system, providing them with an understanding of the mechanism through which society chooses to resolve many disputes. The UCHS Mock Trial Competition Team competes against other schools in our region to litigate a criminal or civil case.
