The Chester ‘Pete’ Corse, Jr. Mock Trial Fund was established to help offset costs associated with the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s High School Mock Trial Competition High School Mock Trial Competition. This newly created fund is currently seeking seed contributions to build its foundation.
As the fund grows, it will become a resource for high school teams to apply for financial assistance—covering expenses such as travel, entry fees, and other costs related to participating in the competition. Application criteria and guidelines will be developed as the fund matures.
The Foundation also supports the Pennsylvania High School Mock Trial Competition Finals through the Chester ‘Pete’ Corse, Jr. Mock Trial Grant, which helps ensure the event is recorded for both archival and training purposes. Named in memory of former Board Director Pete Corse, the grant honors his dedicated service to the Pennsylvania Bar Foundation and his passionate support of the mock trial program.
