The State Bar of Nevada’s High School Mock Trial Committee produced a series of videos for new and returning mock trial teachers, coaches and students. These videos provide examples and information on how to structure your mock trial team, how to keep time, and provides pointers on direct examinations, cross examinations, objections, openings, closings, and courtroom decorum and etiquette. The YouTube videos can be accessed here. Videos are provided for instructive purposes only and information is subject to change; competitors will be held to the standards contained in the current Rules of Competition.
