What if i’ve never done mock trial before?
No problem! If you’re interested in theatre, public speaking, problem-solving, trial procedure, or finding a community then mock trial may be for you. From pre-law to engineering students, MT at IU boasts a variety of well-rounded members. MT at IU’s diversity is what creates a strong team, so regardless of your background or career aspirations, we encourage you to give us a shot!
Our amazing coaches and constant team support ensures growth for all members, regardless of past experience. Once on the team, you will be taught the ins-and-outs of Mock Trial, ensuring you enter your first competition or scrimmage ready to go!
What’s the schedule like?
To ensure that we show up to each competition prepared, there is an importance on the work behind the scenes. We typically have practices on Tuesday and Thursday, from 7 - 10 Pm, where we work on planning, writing, perfecting our scripts, and our greater trial advocacy skills.
We then attend a few tournament throughout the year, where we will typically leave on Friday afternoon, and arrive back in Bloomington sometime Sunday evening.
