The National Association of Secondary School Principals has placed this program on the NASSP National Advisory List of Student Contests and Activities for 2012-2013

2013 National Championship

The Indiana Mock Trial Association will host the 2013 National High School Mock Trial Championship in Indianapolis, Indiana, on May 9 - 11, 2013. The case materials used in the event were loosely adapted from one of Indiana's worst tragedies that occurred 50 years ago - an explosion of propane tanks used to warm popcorn.
