Cajon wins first-ever county mock trial championship
Cajon High School made history, becom-
ing just the eighth high school from San
Bernardino County to win a Mock Trial
championship, edging two-time defending
champion Redlands (Blue) in the finals on
Dec. 8.
Cajon, which had been one of the coun-
ty powers since 2010, had twice lost to
Redlands schools in the finals in 2016 and
2010 and made two other semifinal appear-
ances in 2012 and 2013 before claiming its
first-ever crown this year.
Redlands was seeking its record 16th
title in the 37th annual competition with
the finals being held at the Foothill Law
and Justice Center in Rancho Cucamonga.
Cajon and Redlands played two sessions
in the Mock Trial finals, switching between
playing roles as both prosecutors and defen-
dants.
Approximately 420 students represent-
ing 32 high school teams have partici-
pated in the Mock Trial competition this
year. This event is co-sponsored by the
San Bernardino County Superintendent of
Schools and the San Bernardino County
District Attorney’s office.
