More about the Competition

The National High School Mock Trial Championship continually works to provide:

  • the highest level of competition
  • the most experienced pool of judges
  • the best educational and cultural experience for the most students

The Championship dates are published in advance for future years to allow for the best possible planning and coexistence with other activities, such as AP exams.

  • 2008 - Wilmington, DE - May 8-10
  • 2009 - Atlanta, GA - May 7-9
  • 2010 - Philadelphia, PA - May 6-8

The 2008 and 2009 AP exam dates are listed below to help identify the two specific exams which actually conflict with a day of the Championship. In 2008 and 2009, these exams are US History and European History. If official team members must take either of those exams in 2008 or 2009, we will assist in locating the closest school nearby the Championship site for rescheduling.
