Har-Ber High School Claims Victory in 2025 Arkansas High School Mock Trial Championship


The 2025 Arkansas High School Mock Trial Competition culminated in an exciting championship round on Saturday, March 1, with Har-Ber High School emerging victorious over Fayetteville High School. The final round was presided over by U.S. District Judge James M. Moody, Jr., with a distinguished panel of scoring judges, including Arkansas Bar Association President Kristin Pawlik, President-Elect Jamie Jones, Jonathan Ross, Lisa Peters, and Adam Jackson.


With this impressive win, Har-Ber High School will go on to represent Arkansas at the 2025 National High School Mock Trial Championship, set to take place in Phoenix, Arizona, from May 7-10, 2025.


This year’s competition featured one of the largest turnouts in recent history, with 26 teams competing—an incredible testament to the growing enthusiasm for mock trial in Arkansas!


A sincere thank you to the Mock Trial Committee and the many volunteers who generously dedicated their time as judges. We are especially grateful to the Eastern District of Arkansas Court staff, judges, clerks, local attorneys, law students, and paralegals for their invaluable support. A big thank you to the University of Arkansas School of Law in Fayetteville and the Little Rock Bowen School of Law for providing lunch each day of the competition. We are also deeply appreciative of the Arkansas Bar Foundation for sponsoring this impactful program and to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District for graciously hosting the event.


Congratulations to Har-Ber High School, and best of luck at Nationals!
