VC Office of Education Thanks VCTLA


VCTLA is committed to the success of the Ventura County Mock Trial Program. Winners of the state competition 3 times in 2008, 2011 and 2012, the Ventura County Mock Trial Program is a source of pride here in Ventura County.  Recognizing the importance this program has in our community, VCTLA donated $5,000 to the 2013 Mock Trial Program. 

In the past, the facilities used for Mock Trial have been donated. Unfortunately due to the tight economy a rental fee is now required. Because of rental costs, the Mock Trial program was in danger of ending.  

According to Victoria Brown of the County Office of Education, Ventura County Trial Lawyers Association's financial and volunteer support "is essential to affording more than 500 Ventura County students with a quality Mock Trial experience judged by qualified scoring attorneys in the courtroom."


VCTLA encourages attorneys to volunteer and participate in this program.
