Orange high school
“ I’ve been in mock trial for most of
my high school career, and this year
in particular has improved my public
speaking skills and confidence so much.
I can’t express how much your time and
energy means to me, as well as everyone
in the mock trial program!”
– OhiO MOCk Trial sTudenT

“ I did Cleveland Mock Trial the three years I was in high school. It’s been
something that I’ve held deep in my heart. It has definitely got me where you see
me today. The Louis Stokes Scholars is also an amazing program I learned a lot
from. If you’re serious about getting into the legal field, or even if you’re not sure,
internships in any area will help you decide whether you want to do it or not.
So whether you want to be a doctor, a lawyer, engineer, architect, find something
you can immerse yourself in the field. I was different, I always knew I wanted to
be a lawyer, so doing mock trial was coming full circle with it, with internships and
co-author of the hypothetical that I was once studying. It was a lot of hard work
but it taught me a lot.” – dairian heard, 1l Cleveland-Marshall
