WHERE PRACTICE MEETS COMMUNITY

CORPUS CHRISTI BAR FOUNDATION

The Corpus Christi Bar Foundation (CCBF) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to pursuing charitable and educational activities primarily to promote justice, enhance access to justice by the poor, award scholarships and educate the public as to the pursuit of justice. Working alongside the CCBA and members of the local legal community, the CBCF has established a tradition of supporting young people through educational opportunities, scholarship awards, and the regional High School Mock Trial Competition.


Investing in Students Since 2009


Since 2009, the CCBF has supported outstanding high school students participating in the regional mock trial competition by awarding over $125,000 in college scholarships to local student competitors.


Through participation in mock trial, students develop critical thinking, public speaking, analytical reasoning, teamwork, and leadership skills. They learn to evaluate evidence, construct persuasive arguments, understand courtroom procedures, and appreciate the importance of fairness, professionalism, and the rule of law.


The High School Mock Trial Tradition


The regional High School Mock Trial Competition has become an important part of the Coastal Bend's legal education tradition, bringing together students, teachers, attorneys, and judges in a courtroom environment that provides practical exposure to the judicial process.


Students assume the roles of attorneys and witnesses, preparing and presenting cases that challenge them to apply legal principles, examine evidence, question witnesses, and make arguments before volunteer legal professionals.


The involvement of local attorneys and members of the judiciary provides students with valuable insight into the legal profession while fostering relationships between the legal community and area schools. For many students, the experience offers their first meaningful introduction to the practice of law and the administration of justice.
