​The 2019 ISBA High School Mock Trial Invitational was held on March 9-10, 2019, at the University of Illinois-Springfield campus in Springfield, Illinois. Teams representing 40 high schools from across Illinois participated in the event. The winning team was York Community High School, which will represent Illinois at the National High School Mock Trial Competition in Athens, Georgia.  

The 2019 Invitational was a success due to the hard work and enthusiasm of these 40 teams and their coaches, families, and other supporters, and the dedication of the ISBA’s Standing Committee on Law-Related Education for the Public, the Mock Trial Coordinator Katy Karayannis, the Deputy Mock Trial Coordinator Kelsey Chetosky, and members of the UIS Mock Trial Club. The Invitational would not have been possible without the many judges, attorneys and others who generously volunteered their time and the sponsorship of the ISBA and Illinois LEARN.  The Law Related Education Committee appreciates the support and hard work of these entities and individuals.  We look forward to seeing these teams and volunteers again in 2020, as well as new teams and new volunteers!!

A full list of participating schools, sponsors, and volunteers, information about volunteering, and general information about the Mock Trial Invitational program will be posted on the ISBA Mock Trial website at: http://www.isba.org/teachers/mocktrial.
