State Attorney Brian Haas Hosts Annual Youth Mock Trial Program
Due to the high volume of participants, the SAO is no longer accepting applications for the Youth Mock Trial Program. We appreciate the overwhelming interest and support for this year’s program.
The four-day program will take place June 22nd through June 25th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Polk County Courthouse in Bartow. This program gives students going in to the 11th and 12th grade an opportunity to work with prosecutors from the State Attorney’s Office and learn how a criminal case makes its way through the criminal justice system. Students will attend court hearings and study current cases to see how the law is applied.
Please fill out the application attached and submit to communications10@sao10.com or mail to the Polk County Courthouse. Deadline to apply is June 8th, 2026.
