At CCV, we envision a society in which all people understand,
value and participate in the processes of self-government. We
further our vision by providing education and resources to
encourage public participation in the law. CCV's work includes
management of the Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTA) and
New Mexico High School Mock Trial programs.
IOLTA is a partnership among
financial institutions, attorneys and law firms, through which
annual grants are awarded to New Mexico nonprofits that offer
civil legal services for poor people, law-related education for
the public, and improvements in the administration of justice.
Mock trial is an educational
initiative for high schools statewide that teaches young people
about the law and the legal system. There are
volunteer opportunities
available for lawyers and non-lawyers through the mock trial
program, and original
case materials developed by CCV are available for use by
others. The Mock Trial Program gratefully acknowledges financial
support from the State Bar of
New Mexico, the IOLTA
program and the
University of New Mexico School of Law.
