    Invest in Another 25 Years of Mock Trial

    The seeds of today's Mock Trial Program were sown in the late 1970s when a high school teacher in Superior sought help from local attorneys to develop a program for Law Day, resulting in a mock trial open to the public.

    To recognize the hundreds of judicial, attorney, teacher, and student volunteers who have contributed to the success of the Mock Trial Program since its inception in 1983, a special 25th anniversary celebration will be held on March 16 in Madison in conjunction with the state competition. Consider becoming an event sponsor or investing in Wisconsin's young people by making a financial gift through the Wisconsin Law Foundation (WLF).

    Support the awards banquet. Financial contributions will help fund the Awards Banquet on March 16 in Madison. For information about sponsorship opportunities, visit Mock Trial or contact State Bar LRE Coordinator Dee Runaas at (800) 444-9404, ext. 6191, or (608) 250-6191.

    Ensure the Mock Trial Program's long-term success. The Mock Trial Program is the most visible law-related education program statewide, and its success depends on sponsorship as much as it does on volunteers.

    In 2004, the WLF established the Mock Trial Designated Fund to support the continued success of the program by ensuring that adequate funding is provided from generous donors. The WLF is a 501(c)3 organization; all gifts are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. To make a donation, contact Laura Emerson at (800) 444-9404, ext. 6015.
