2017 ISBA High School Mock Trial Invitational

The 2017 ISBA High School Mock Trial Invitational was held on March 11 and 12, 2017, at the University of Illinois College of Law in Champaign, Illinois. Teams representing 39 high schools from across Illinois participated in the event. The winning team was St. Charles North High School, which will represent Illinois at the National High School Mock Trial Competition in Hartford, Connecticut.

The 2017 Invitational was a success due to the hard work and enthusiasm of these 39 teams and their coaches, families, and other supporters, and the dedication of the ISBA’s Standing Committee on Law-Related Education for the Public, the Mock Trial Coordinator, Katy Karayannis, and the members of the Illinois Trial Team. The Invitational would not have been possible without the many judges, attorneys, and others who generously volunteered their time, the sponsorship of the ISBA and Illinois LEARN, and the generous and welcoming spirit of the College of Law. The Law-Related Education Committee appreciates the support and hard work of all of these entities and individuals. We look forward to seeing these teams again in 2018, as well as new teams and volunteers!!
