This two-week program is designed for students who plan to compete in mock trial during the academic year and want extended time to develop case strategy, witness theory, evidentiary mastery, and courtroom adaptability under competitive conditions.
This two-week practicum is a competition-forward mock trial experience designed for students who intend to participate in interscholastic mock trial during the academic year. Unlike introductory programs, the focus is on sustained case development, strategic refinement, and performance under competitive conditions.
Students will work intensively with experienced mock trial coaches and attorneys to analyze a full mock trial case file in depth, develop cohesive trial theory, refine witness examinations, master evidentiary objections, and adapt arguments dynamically in response to opposing counsel.
The extended format allows students to rehearse multiple trial iterations, receive detailed feedback, and make strategic adjustments—mirroring the preparation process used by successful competitive teams. Emphasis is placed on teamwork, role specialization, courtroom presence, and decision-making under pressure.
This program is best suited for students with prior mock trial experience or a clear intention to compete. Students seeking an introduction to mock trial or a lower-pressure skills-based experience are encouraged to consider the one-week Mock Trial program.
