Mock Trial Competition- Guildford Crown Court (Meets Benchmark 5 and 6)

# data[].attributes.body
Date: Saturday 21st March 2026

Venue: Guildford Crown Court

The deadline for school applications has been extended, please book your students on ASAP!

The Mock Trial Competitions have provided unparalleled exposure to the judicial system, its venues and access to senior legal professionals since 1991.

The organisers provide secondary school students with specially written cases so they can try the law against their peers in courthouses around the UK. It’s not just for those interested in studying law – students of all kinds are encouraged to engage, to build their confidence, understanding and interest in the law.

Support for Schools/ Teachers - Pre Competition:

As soon as a school confirms their entry, on request, a practising magistrate can be assigned to support preparation for the competition. This can range from advice on roles/preparation to a visit to see a live court in operation (min age 14). The organisers can facilitate a visit to either Guildford or Staines Magistrates Court. Cases seen are appropriate for schoolchildren. There is often an opportunity to question magistrates who are working that day in a natural break or over lunchtime. This can be valuable preparation for a school. In addition, the teacher involved in the winning Surrey school last year has offered to provide steer from their perspective on how best to prepare a team for the day.

Competition Day:

On the day itself, the organisers include some additional activities between competition rounds to keep the teams involved. This includes:

A question and answer session with senior legal professionals including a Crown Court Judge, CPS Lawyer, Defence Lawyer, Senior Police Officer, Lecturer from a Local Law College. Schools are encouraged to prepare questions in advance and to feel free to ask the professionals any questions they like.

A visit to stallholders including the High Sheriff Youth Awards team, Fearless, Police Cadets, and Surrey Police.

A visit to the Crown Court Cells to meet the Security Team showing how custody cases are dealt with. In addition there is an opportunity to see inside a prison van which is always popular!

Feedback is provided to individual teams after the competition to help the learning experience and assist any teacher follow up.
