The WALS Foundation Mock Trial program has assisted schools across the state for ten years.  Over 11,500 students in twelve West Virginia counties have participated.  The program brings the American Justice System to life as students learn about the dangers of abusing prescription drugs. 

The mock trial program meets the fifth grade mock trial objective in the West Virginia Next Generation Content Standards and Objectives for Social Studies.  For more information please visithttp://walswheeling.com/mocktrials.shtml.
