Case Materials

The 2025 Case Is Now Available


The Arkansas Bar Association Mock Trial Committee welcomes your participation in our 2025 competition. In this year’s case, the defendant, Lane Hill, has been charged with murdering business partner, Zoe Caine. Zoe Caine apparently had a gambling problem and had been unlucky for some period of time. Thinking her luck would change, Zoe borrowed money frequently from a local loan shark, Lou Carboni. However, Zoe’s luck didn’t change and, under pressure for payment from Lou, Zoe started stealing money from the business. Dive in to this case to see what happens next!
