ISBA Center for Law & Civic Education - Iowa Mock Trial Prog
Grant Amount Awarded: $55,000
The purpose of this request is to further the mission of the ISBA’s Center for Law & Civic Education to educate students, educators, and other members of the public on the law. Funds will specifically be used to support the ISBA’s Mock Trial Program.
Funds will support both the Middle School and High School Mock Trial programs which serve more than 4,000 students from more than 250 schools around the state.
The ISBA believes that the Mock Trial Program is exemplary of the organization’s mission and vision. It provides multiple avenues for collegial civic involvement in addition to educating youth and teachers through this hands-on program. Such opportunities give youth and adults greater understanding of the legal process and the profession’s standing within the communities where lawyers live and work.
