The North Carolina Advocates for Justice High School Mock Trial Program is operated by the Carolina Center for Civic Education (CCCE). For twenty years, the North Carolina Advocates for Justice (formerly the North Carolina Association of Trial Lawyers) has sponsored the only statewide high school mock trial competition in North Carolina. Through this program, countless students have learned how to speak with confidence, work as a team toward a collective goal, think on their feet, and develop life-long leadership skills that will serve them well in whatever career path they choose. Many thanks to the innumerable teachers, attorney advisors, and volunteers who have made this wonderful opportunity possible.
