About Us
What is the Mock Trial? |
Mock Trial is an event that simulates the circumstances of an actual trial. It is performed in a courtroom with a Judge and a Jury. Students act as the lawyers as well as the witnesses. Students learn the proper procedures of going to trial and then have an opportunity to simulate it in the presence of Judges and Court Officials.

Why is our high school participating in this project: |
Dripping Springs High School has been handpicked as a pilot school for this program. It is also a goal of this district to provide our students with the tools necessary to make good decisions and handle difficult situations. This project sends an important message to all teenagers and we believe this has the upmost value to our students.
