The Mock Trial team here at Frederick Douglass is headed by Mr. William Hay. Mock Trial has been here at Douglass for the last 3 years. The mock trial team includes juniors, seniors, sophomores and freshmen. Mock Trial is defined as students being given a set of case materials which they use to portray the roles of attorneys and witnesses in a civil or criminal trial. Mock Trial provides a lesson in the U.S. legal system through the process of trial.
