Hong Kong Inter-School Mock Trial Championship
In 2019, 22 schools from around the city sent teams to compete in the competition. During two exhilarating days of competition, over 200 student participants argued a burglar case in front of judges drawn from the Hong Kong legal community. Upon seeing the talent and determination of the student participants, the organizers resolved to find a way to bring Hong Kong mock trial to the global stage.
Largest Mock Trial Competition in Hong Kong with 26 Participating Schools
The competition has involved over 800 participants over the years, and has helped nurture budding lawyers and public speakers across Hong Kong. With overwhelming response and applications, we had 22 school teams joining 2019's competition at the University of Hong Kong.
