The TBA Young Lawyers Division (YLD) and its Mock Trial Committee have released case materials for the 2024 Tennessee State High School Mock Trial Competition. Students will present their best arguments in a criminal scenario centered around an evening of pranks and alleged revenge that goes terribly wrong, leading to charges of vandalism, burglary and felony murder. District competitions will be held in February. Teams advancing to the state competition will meet in Nashville March 22-23 to determine the Tennessee champion. Tennessee's winner will represent the state at the National High School Mock Trial Competition in Wilmington, Delaware, May 2-5. The Mock Trial Committee is led by Chair Ashley Tipton, Vice-chair Michael Holmes and Long Range Planning Coordinator Zack Walden. Access resources for the upcoming competition.
