University of Cincinnati Mock Trial Invitational

Ohio Mock Trial of­fers an in­no­v­a­tive ap­proach to learn­ing the law and how our legal sys­tem func­tions. Guided by teach­ers and vol­un­teer legal ad­vi­sors, stu­dents par­tic­i­pate in an orig­i­nal, un­scripted sim­u­lated trial writ­ten by at­tor­neys.  High school stu­dents argue both sides of the case in real court­rooms across the state.  

The Valley High School Mock Trial team will begin its season starting in October.  The case this year is titled “Denver Saidi v. Wyatt Latu” 

Advisor Dan Kauffman is in his 8th year and is excited about the upcoming season.  Coach Kauffman would like to thank Valley Schools for always being supportive of the team.  

Additionally, Valley Schools would like to give a huge thank you to Valley grad and local attorney Adrienne Buckler Callihan for her many years of dedication and volunteering to the High School Mock Trial team.
