Try out for the win.
Tryouts are open to students of all years — no experience required, just curiosity and a competitive streak.
How to join.
Three steps from curious newcomer to teammate.
Attend an info session
Come to one of two sessions on Saturday, August 29 or Sunday, August 30. Attendance is required to audition — times and locations go up on our Instagram.
Audition the next weekend
Tryouts run the weekend of September 5–6 and are open to students of all years. We will walk you through exactly what to prepare at the info session.
Join a team
Receive your offer, meet your teammates, and start preparing for the fall season — no prior mock trial experience needed.
What we look for.
We recruit smart, creative, and competitive people from every corner of campus. The best mock trial teams blend a range of majors, voices, and instincts — so we are not looking for one type of person.
- Smart, creative thinkers
- Competitive drive
- Comfort speaking up
- Every academic background
