The 2021 ISBA High School Mock Trial Invitational was held March 12-14. For the first time in its history, the event was held virtually.  

Teams representing 46 high schools from across Illinois participated in trials via Zoom. The winning team was Evanston Township High School, which will represent Illinois at the National High School Mock Trial Competition in Evansville, Indiana, which will also be held virtually this year. 

The 2021 Invitational was a success due to the hard work and enthusiasm of these teams and their coaches, families, and other supporters, and the dedication of the ISBA’s Standing Committee on Law-Related Education for the Public, the Mock Trial Coordinator, Katy Flannagan, and ISBA staff members. The Invitational would not have been possible without the many judges, attorneys, and others who generously volunteered their time to be presiding judges and jurors. The Law-Related Education Committee appreciates the support and hard work of these entities and individuals. We look forward to seeing these teams and volunteers again in 2022, as well as new teams and new volunteers!!

A full list of participating schools and volunteers and general information about the Mock Trial Invitational will be posted online.
