📣 Big things are happening for New Mexico Mock Trial!
This summer, we’re hard at work preparing for an exciting year and expanding opportunities for students across the state.
⚖️ The 2026 Middle School Mock Trial Program will be held in Las Cruces on November 7, 2026!
⚖️ We’re also working toward hosting a High School Mock Trial regional competition in Las Cruces in 2027, alongside our Albuquerque regional competition. Expanding to southern New Mexico will make the program more accessible to students statewide.
We can’t do it without our amazing community of supporters.
