One of Federal Hocking Local Schools’ mock trial teams will be heading to regional competition Friday.

Federal Hocking humanities teacher and mock trial coach Nick Warmke said of the six teams that participated in district competition — two from Federal Hocking, two from Jackson, one from River Valley and one home-school team — one of Federal Hocking’s teams won, and will participate in regionals.

The mock trial competition is put on every year through the Ohio Center for Law-Related Education. Competitors argue a specific case, and are judged based on how well they did so. Usually the cases are loosely based on existing Ohio or U.S. Supreme Court cases. This year’s district event was held Feb. 3.
