The Eastview High School Mock Trial Program is a law-related education program which introduces students to the American legal system and provide a challenging opportunity for personal growth and achievement. As part of the mock trial program, students will exercise in a real-life setting their critical thinking abilities, as well as the basic skills learned in the classroom.

Through participation in mock trials, students gain a practical understanding of the way in which the American legal system functions. While learning the details of trial process and procedure, students also develop important lifetime skills: critical analysis of problems, reasoning, listening, oral presentation and extemporaneous argument. Mock trials provide an active learning opportunity for students and require a high level of cooperation among participants.
