The Mount Mock Trial Team

Mock trial is a college team (consisting of six to eight students) that plays out the roles in a hypothetical case. The cases are provided by the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA)so that all college teams around the country are using the same materials. During competition, students play the roles of witnesses and attorneys for both the plaintiff/prosecution and for the defense.  

Involvement on the Mount Mock Trial Team can help you practice your public-speaking and performing skills, learn to think on your feet, learn rules of evidence and courtroom procedures, and develop analytical thinking skills, all in a fun atmosphere!

Anyone, regardless of experience, can join the Mount Mock Trial Team. For more information, contact Dr. Marcia McKinley by phone at x4282, by email at mckinley@msmary.edu, by AIM at doctormckinley, or in person at Science Building room 114C.
