Middle School Mock Trial
The Middle School Mock Trial division will take place concurrently with the High School division. Middle school teams will work from the same case packet and materials, allowing students to build and present their cases in a format closely aligned with the high school competition.

The primary difference is that the Middle School division does not include a pre-trial motion or argument. Otherwise, the structure remains consistent. Team composition mirrors that of the high school level, with teams consisting of 9 to 20 students.
