What is Mock Trial?
The 2016-2017 USC Mock Trial Program
Mock trial is a team activity that gives undergraduate students the chance to explore the law and its effect on society. It is highly competitive, with over 350 colleges and universities participating nationwide.
While mock trial will undoubtedly give pre-law students an edge before starting law school, it is open and welcoming to students of all disciplines. Anyone in any major has much to gain through participation, as mock trial provides the opportunity to develop public speaking skills, critical thinking abilities, and a quick wit, and is a great way to learn how to respond to criticism and excel under pressure.
Here at USC, our program is made of three tight-knit teams who work together to ensure that the program as a whole succeeds. These teams have the opportunity to travel both in and out of state to present a mock court case and compete with other universities. Not only is mock trial a fun and competitive way to represent our university, but it's also a great way to make friends both on campus and off. Forever to thee!
