Courtroom Artist Competition

The MSBA has expanded its High School Mock Trial Program to include a courtroom artist competition. 

• High School students are eligible to compete, even if their school does not have a Mock Trial team. 
• Participants will create a drawing depicting a moment in the trial they attend and submit it to the MSBA. This will be during the in-person mock trial competitions at a local courthouse in January and/or February.
• A limited number of participants will advance to participate in the State Tournament where they will be assigned to one of the trials to create a drawing that will be evaluated by a panel. 
• All entries will be displayed at the awards banquet and participants will be introduced. 
• The artist selected as having created the best drawing will be eligible to compete at the National High School Mock Trial Courtroom Artist Competition in the spring of 2025.
