Los Angeles Area Girls’ Schools Take First and Second Place at Mock Trial Championship

12/18/20—The Los Angeles Mock Trial Program is an academic competition in which over 2,500 middle and high school students compete at the county level. 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 the judicial system while developing their analytical abilities and communication skills.

Louisville High School and Girls Academic Leadership Academy both performed exceptionally well in the 2020 competition, claiming first and second place respectively in the senior division, which included 110 schools and over 1,800 students. Congratulations to both schools for their hard work and achievement.
