Mock Trial Seminar

Catalog description

The Mock Trial Seminar offers students a unique opportunity for both experiential and theoretical learning. Students will rigorously prepare to participate in the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA) Competitions, inter-collegiate tournaments in which students serve in the roles of attorneys and witnesses in a real-life Trial Simulation, and engage in mock trial simulations as part of the classroom experience. Students will develop critical thinking and oral and written communication skills by examining and analyzing legal issues and law relevant to trial simulations.
