Mock Trial Club

The purpose of this club is to teach the students of Staples High School trial advocacy, and more importantly to develop the club member’s skills in crafting and delivering an argument, questioning a witness, effective methods of persuasion and public speaking. The aim of the club is to reach out to students who have an interest in law and trial proceedings with the final goal to be holding a “mock trial”. The club will be involved in teaching students about the various components of a mock trial and eventually use those skills in a mock trial competition against other schools with a mock trial club. This club will allow students to learn more about the law and explore the elements of legal proceedings.
