Mission
Mock trial's mission is to give students early experience in legal procedures, and a comprehensive, first-hand look at what law looks like in practice. Even if students aren't interested in law specifically, skills and experiences acquired can be important for history, sociology, anthropology, political science, or other subjects that intersect with the law. Mock Trial will teach students invaluable skills that are directly applicable to their academic and personal pursuits. Students who participate gain analytical skills from analyzing cases and facts; as well as how to compose effective arguments and respond to questions or disputes. These kind of abilities are extremely useful in college-level writing and discussions in general. Mock Trial also provides students with the opportunity to develop their professionalism, confidence, and public speaking abilities, all of which are important for both future academic and occupational endeavors. Having these kinds of ability comes in handy for job interviews, class participation in the university setting, and other scenarios students may encounter.
