Mock Trial

The Mock Trial team at BHS is a Gateway program that participates in interscholastic competition. Students in grades 8-12 may participate in rehearsals, but only students in grades 9-12 may participate in competitions. The Mock Trial program is run by the Massachusetts Bar Association, and provides high school students with the opportunity to “test their skills as lawyers and witnesses in a simulated courtroom competition.” Through the program, students learn about the American judicial system and practice the skills used by attorneys in the courtroom. In addition to the two BHS coaches, students work with an attorney from the community to prepare for competition.
