Thank you in advance for contributing to the development of young legal minds. This form serves to register your school and your team(s) for regional events.

Thank you for your patience as the MCCE Board of Directors, the MCCE Programming Committee, the National High School Mock Trial Board of Directors, numerous courthouses, and additional volunteers worked together to develop a plan for the season.

At this time, MCCE will host one dedicated virtual weekend and the other weekends will be in person. States is anticipated to be in person. Please continue to check the website for more information.

Please note: all events are dependent on the courhouses decision to let outside groups in which is depedent on various local courthouse decision criteria. This also depends on having enough in person volunteers who wish to be present among high school groups. So, please note the availability could change. We are planning as above with many possible variations.  We will work to provide a student reception and an adult reception as well - likely virtual. Please stay tuned for those updates. 

Both this registration form and payment are required for full registration. The registration window is Tuesday, November 1  through Wednesday, January 11, 2023 for legal teams.  Please know the regional events are typically first come, first serve. So if you know which regional you want to attend, please register asap. An additional form requesting the legal team member information, courtroom journalism, courtroom artistry participation, along with team pictures will is also required by Tuesday, January 31, 2023.
