Bolivar High School Wins Regional Mock Trial

The Ozarks Regional Mock Trial Tournament was held Saturday February 25, 2023 at Evangel University.  The tournament is produced by the Springfield Metropolitan Bar Foundation. After a seven year break, this was the second year the regional tournament has taken place. Despite being a new team to the tournament, Bolivar High School managed to take both first and third place.  Returning team, Joplin took second.  The first and second place teams will be advancing to the state competition in Kansas City next month.

Thank you to the SMBA volunteers who served as judges and jurors
