Key Components of Mock Trial
Examining a WitnessThe core of any trial, examining a witness through direct or cross is the way to show the judge and jury the evidence that proves your argument.

Opening Statement and Closing ArgumentThe first and final impressions on the judge, the opening and closing act as an introduction and a conclusion, summarizing your arguments.

ObjectionsPossibly the most integral and yet most difficult part of Mock Trial, objecting and responding to objections is key to controlling the evidence throughout the trial.
