2011-2012 Mock Trial

The AMHS Mock Trial Team, established in 2005, has garnered recognition as one of the most active and successful clubs at the school. Approximately 50 students participated in the club in 2010, including a freshman-sophomore team for beginners known as the "C-Team". The Varsity team won District Championships in 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010, and qualified both its Varsity and JV teams to state in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Mock Trial regularly places among the top teams in Washington, finishing 5th place in 2007, 6th in 2008, 12th in 2009, 6th in 2010 and 3rd in 2011. In 2008, the team qualified for the first national meet in school history, advancing to the American Mock Trial Invitational in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Mock Trial allows students to participate in a true-to-life courtroom drama. Teams of attorneys and witnesses prepare a fictitious case for trial and compete at district levels in front of real judges in actual courtrooms. “Juries" of attorneys rate the teams for their presentation, while the presiding judges rule on the motions, objections, and ultimately the merits. Participants develop critical thinking and analytical skills, learn the art of oral advocacy, and gain a respect for the role of law and the judiciary.
