"The court visit was highly encouraging for prospective lawyers. It was exciting to see judicial system in action after learning about it. The lawyers/speakers were also helpful in that they humanized and familiarized the whole process. It was very intense and pushed me to work hard and learn a lot."
–Davis J., Mock Trial participant

"This program was life-changing. I got to meet people from all over the world and work with them in mock trial. This experience has strengthened my passion for law and gave me more knowledge on the subject. And a huge thank you to Education Unlimited for making my experience much better than I expected."
–Daniel D., Mock Trial participant

“This experience encouraged me even more of pursuing my dream of becoming a lawyer one day. The instructors, two great lawyers, were able to share their passion with us by teaching us the most important rules in trials. We got to practice those skills in our very own mock trial."
