BISZ Mock Trial

Learn courtroom procedure, legal reasoning, and public speaking.

Why Mock Trial ?

Students learn courtroom procedure, legal reasoning, and public speaking through hands-on mock trial training.

Members take on attorney or witness roles, developing skills in argumentation, examination, and performance. The club prepares students for national and international competitions, providing guidance and practice opportunities to represent the school at tournaments.

It's a team sport in an academic setting – inclusive, challenging, and rewarding.
