The TBA Young Lawyers Division is excited to announce a new addition to the Tennessee High School Mock Trial Competition. With the receipt of a grant from the National High School Mock Trial Championship program, the 2025 competition will include a new Artist in the Courtroom Competition. The new competition will take place first on the district level with the top three artists moving on to the state competition. Those three artists will participate in the state competition in March with the state winner going on to compete at nationals in June. The Artist in the Courtroom program is designed to give more students the opportunity to learn about the courtroom and the legal process, while improving their artistic ability and being introduced to the courtroom artist profession. Rules for the competition will be released with the case in November. Next year's state competition will take place in Nashville March 21-22, 2025.
