The State Bar of Wisconsin is gearing up for the 2026 Wisconsin Mock Trial Tournament! We would be honored to have you join us in this fun and challenging educational event by participating as a Mock Trial judge.

This year's Mock Trial Trial Regional Tournaments will take place on Saturday, February 7, 2026. The Mock Trial State Semifinals will take place on Friday and Saturday, March 6th & 7th. The final round will take place Sunday, March 8, 2026. We would welcome your participation as a judge in the Mock Trial tournaments.

All judges will receive a copy of the Mock Trial Handbook and case materials to review ahead of time; can preview the “Judge’s Training Video” online at their convenience; and will be provided scoring instructions and a brief training on the day of the tournament.
