Mock trial is a great way to gain skills in public speaking, knowledge on how the court system works, and lifelong friendships.

Mock trial is a wonderful experience for building your public speaking skills, as well as gaining a unique perspective if you’re preparing for law school. Also the coaches are the best people ever.

Mock trial allowed me to be who I wanted to be and taught me how to justify every decision I’ve made since joining.

Mock trial completely transformed my undergraduate experience. I got to know the legal community in Indianapolis both on and off campus. My experience also allowed for me to receive a generous scholarship from Drexel University School of Law for trial advocacy. From all the way from the Midwest to Philadelphia, mock trial had opened so many doors for me that I never could have dreamed of.

No matter what career path you take, you truly never know when you might find yourself in a courtroom.

At the time, I didn’t fully realize how much mock trial would prepare me for my career. As a paramedic serving the Indianapolis community, I’ve been subpoenaed four times in just four years. Walking into a courtroom can be intimidating, but I have been prepared because of mock trial.
I understand courtroom procedure and terminology, know how to communicate clearly with a jury, and feel confident explaining complex medical information in a way people can digest. I’ve testified in a high profile case involving a death in the presence of law enforcement, as well as in assaults and a DUI case, and in each situation my role was simply to explain what I saw and heard and how I treated my patient. Mock trial gave me the confidence and composure to do that well.
