Seeking help from Will County attorneys for ISBA Mock Trial Teams | State of Illinois Office of the Illinois Courts

Joliet West and Joliet Central High Schools have secured academic advisors for Mock Trial Teams at each of their respective high schools for the 2025 ISBA Mock Trial Competition to be held in March, 2025. In order for these students to be successful, we need volunteer attorneys to help coach and guide the students. Although Will County is one of the largest counties in Illinois, it is underrepresented in this competition. Let’s change that!

If interested in finding out more about this opportunity, including the time commitment and process for the ISBA sponsored mock trial competitions, please contact Justice Mary K. O’Brien at bhaage@illinoiscourts.gov or call 779-205-3114. The first meeting will be held sometime in mid-September, with the majority of the time commitment beginning in November and ending with the completion of the competitions in March.
