The regional competition, which qualified North for state, included 20 teams plus five teams from Salem. North competed against and defeated Wilson, Sprague and Lincoln high schools. The final round against Lincoln was important to North because Lincoln was the state runner-up last year. No other teams from Salem advanced to the state competition. Mock Trial is sponsored by the Classroom Law Project and is a competitive and intense program that seeks to educate students about the trial advocacy system of justice.
Teams examine and go through a full trial of a specific case.
This year's case is a murder trial.
