Who is this aimed at?
This online guide is for anyone mentoring a school involved in one of Young Citizens' Mock Trial Competitions.

It is important for all volunteer mentors to read and familiarise themselves with the content of this online guide.
How long do I have access to the online guide?
You will have access for as long as you need. We will update this guide regularly so do make sure that you read it prior to each cycle.
What if I am still unclear about anything to do with the competition?
The Mock Trials team at Young Citizens is always there to support you and help with any challenges that you have locally.
