William & Mary Mock Trial

William & Mary Mock Trial Mock Trial at W&M prepares a new case each year and tries it against teams nation-wide. We are dedicated to learning law, public speaking, and having fun.

We work with the American Mock Trial Association, which formulates a fictional court case that we prepare for trial. We are the lawyers and the witnesses, going head-to-head against other teams who have done similar preparation. The goal? Sway the judge and jury in your favor (and have a good time doing it). Mock Trial is good for a lot of things. Law is one of those things. So is public speaking.

Wearing suits, absolutely. Annihilating competitors, check. But Mock Trial is, most of all, so much fun. Juggling legal concepts, crafting angry persuasive speeches, and tripping in dress shoes contribute to the memories you will take with you through college and beyond. Not to mention the amazing friendships that form along the way.
