The Dutchess County Bar Association is dedicated to making a difference in the communities it serves. Below are examples of activities designed to help us achieve this goal.



Mock Trial Competition for Dutchess County High Schools
The DCBA in cooperation with the New York State Bar Association and New York State Education Department sponsor a yearly mock trial tournament for Dutchess County high schools. Teams first compete on a local level and present a case before local judges, in their own courtrooms. The winning high school team is eligible to compete at the regional competition and then onto state-wide competition in Albany.

The program provides students with an excellent educational experience.
