Mock Trial Team
About
The U of SC Mock Trial Program is a member of a national organization known as the American Mock Trial Association. Each year, AMTA writes and distributes a case packet to teams across the country, which includes all the materials necessary to compete at trial. Our teams are made up from 6-10 competitors who take on the roles of Prosecutors, Defense Attorneys, and Witnesses, and practice together before competing in competitions in GA, FL, NC, TN, VA, NY, MD, DC, and right here on campus. In February, AMTA oversees a three-stage tournament series that narrows the 750+ teams down to a National Champion.
Mock trial is a team activity that gives competitors the chance to explore the legal system and develop the advocacy skills needed to excel within it. It's a great way to learn how to excel under pressure, improve your oratory skills, and work with others. We host our own tournaments, travel the country, and elect our leadership from within. It's a great way to make friends on campus and off!
