Camden Vicinage to Host Mock Trial Program

The Camden Vicinage, in partnership with the New Jersey State Bar and Camden County Bar Foundations, is hosting the 2024 Vincent J. Apruzzese High School Mock Trial Competition.

Mock trials in a preliminary round will take place on Saturday, Feb. 3 at the Hall of Justice, 101 S. 5th St., Camden. This year’s program features a criminal matter involving college admissions fraud with high school students competing against each other as they assume the roles of defendants, attorneys, and witnesses. Superior Court judges and volunteer members of the Camden County Bar Association will preside over the mock trials, and local attorneys will act as coaches. 

Winners of the county finals advance to the regional semifinals, where they will have a chance to advance to the state championship.
