Lawton Chiles High School Mock Trial Club is a high school mock trial organization.  Our organization's purpose is to better educate students about the law.  We have existed since 2011.  We are a competitive organization which can compete on circuit, state, and national levels every year. We have won several first place awards in these competitions.  We have also placed third in the first year of the Sunshine State Showdown Invitational Tournament held by FSU Mock Trial this past year.  We hope you join to help us return to these competitions and win again!

More about us

Established in 2011

While Chiles Mock Trial is a relatively young organization, we have already placed in and won several competitions at high levels.  We plan to continue this with the new members of this year that will hopefully include you!

 

Our Goal

The goal of Chiles Mock Trial is to better educate high school students about the law and hopefully spark a deeper interest in the law and legal professions through the lessons provided by our three outstanding attorney coaches.
We also aim to make new members more confident in themselves in areas such as public speaking, debate, acting, writing, etc.  Our focus is to provide equal opportunity for education in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

Competitions

We compete several times a year.  Competition season is from September to May. In the 2018-2019 Season, we had competitions in September, February, and March.

Chiles Mock Trial competes in several competitions each year.  Our main competitions are a Fall invitational, our Circuit's competition, and the Florida High School Mock Trial State Finals Competition.  
Our team consists of about 8 members or more: 3 attorneys, 3 witnesses, and 2 alternates or 3 attorneys and 5 witnesses are the two usual configurations for our team.

For our invitational tournament, we will always attempt to enter multiple teams if we have enough members to allow all members to compete.

ALL FORMS, DOCUMENTS, AND INFO FOR MEMBERS WILL BE ADDED HERE WHEN NECESSARY.
