The 2025 Arkansas High School Mock Trial Competition is scheduled for February 28 - March 1, 2025, at the U.S. Federal Courthouse in Little Rock.

This year's case is The State of Arkansas v. Lane Hill, a murder case with layers of plots and twists.  The case is now available - Click here to View

The Mock Trial program is successful because of our volunteers.  Scoring judges, presiding judges, and bailiffs all serve a vital role in the tournament. A mock trial round lasts approximately 2.5 hours with a 30-minute orientation before the round. If you are willing to donate 3 hours of your time, please sign up here Get involved.

Har-Ber High Wins 2024 Arkansas High School Mock Trial Competition

On Saturday, March 2, Har-Ber High School defeated Conway High School in the Championship Round of the Arkansas High School Mock Trial Competition.

We appreciate the members of the Mock Trial Committee as well as all of the volunteers who served as judges at the competition. Thank you to the Arkansas Bar Foundation for sponsoring the program, to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District for hosting the event, and to the Arkansas Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union for providing lunch to the students on Friday.
