Frequently asked questions

The 糖心传媒 Mock Trial competition is a courtroom simulation for students in Years 10 to 12. Students take part in a realistic legal case by performing roles such as barristers, witnesses and court officers. Each participating school enters a team of students who compete against teams from other schools.

The Mock Trial is open to Year 11 and 12 students with an interest in the legal system, offering them a chance to step into individual roles such as a Barrister, Court Officer or Witness. Each school selects a team of students to participate, and family and friends are invited to come and spectate.

All you need to bring is your enthusiasm, a sharp mind, and your preparatory notes. We have the gowns and gavel covered, so you can just focus on bringing your A-game to the courtroom. And of course, don’t forget to bring your cheering squad – family and friends are welcome to join in on the fun!

School staff can easily register online via our university's event page. Simply fill out the registration form. You will receive a confirmation email with additional details.

Once we receive all the registrations, we will reach out to the schools to confirm court appearance roles, the details of the case, and provide any preparative documents.

Absolutely! All participating schools will receive preparation materials before the event, including case information, role descriptions and guidance documents.

An academic representative from our Law Faculty will then meet with each school to provide advice on the case and offer their guidance on preparation.

We will be in touch once you have registered your school’s interest. Due to the nature of the competition, we are unable to accommodate an uneven number of schools, so we may ask you to join a waitlist.

Once your participation is confirmed, we ask for your commitment to the program, as a school withdrawal means the paired school will also lose their spot.

We understand circumstances change, so if individual students withdraw, we simply ask they be replaced. Normally the whole class will work on the case, meaning there are other prepared students who can step in.
