Professionalism and Civility Award
The Professionalism and Civility Award was created to highlight the importance of professionalism among teams participating in our Mock Trial competitions. During the competition experience, teams and their coaches observe other participating teams and, using a subjective process, will nominate another team to be considered for the Professionalism and Civility Award. Teams may take into account the behavior of students, coaches, and spectators associated with other teams when making a nomination for this award.
The qualities that teams nominated for the award must demonstrate inside and outside the courtroom include: a professional demeanor, civility, integrity, honesty, fair play, respect for the competition, respect for fellow competitors, respect for volunteers and all associated with the program throughout the competition, and respect for courthouse staff and their facilities.
