Flintridge Prep Mock Trial Team Wins LA County Tournament for the First Time in its 5 Year-History

Flintridge Preparatory School congratulate its Mock Trial Team for winning the 45th Annual Los Angeles County Tournament for the First time in its five-year history on Monday, December 5. They will head to the state championship in mid-March, next year.

The Los Angeles Mock Trial Program is an academic competition in which over 2,500 high school and middle school students compete at the county level. Student teams study a hypothetical case, conduct legal research, and receive guidance from volunteer attorneys in courtroom procedures and trial preparation. The trial itself is a simulation of a criminal case, in which students portray lawyers, witnesses, court clerks, and bailiffs, thus acquiring a working knowledge of our judicial system while developing their analytical abilities and communication skills.
