Mentoring Local and State Mock Trial and Mediation and Restorative Justice Competitions
During the New Advocates for Mexican Justice program, ABA ROLI Mexico routinely hosted the largest annual National Mock Trial Competition and National Mediation and Restorative Justice Competition in Mexico. These competitions were among the most prestigious of their kind in the country, with 47 law schools from 24 states participating. To build on this successful initiative, ABA ROLI now focuses on building the capacity of law schools, civil society organizations, and institutions to conduct these competitions themselves by providing them with mentorship.
