Mock Trial

For over eighteen years, the Monroe County Bar Association has sponsored a Mock Trial Invitational in which local high schools are invited to participate. The event takes place in November of each year. Attorneys volunteer to work with a group of students, and along with their teacher advisors, help to prepare students for the competition. The local competition prepares participants for the Pennsylvania Bar Association's Young Lawyers Division  (YLD) Statewide Mock Trial Competition in February and March.
