Launched in 1982, the NJSBF’s annual mock trial competition was created to provide interactive learning experiences for high school students outside of the classroom. Using an original case the NJSBF’s Mock Trial Committee prepares, student teams take on the roles of attorneys, witnesses and jurors. The program helps students develop skills in public speaking, critical thinking, and teamwork. This year’s case, Capella v. Petzicon Products, Inc., deals with product liability.
