Mock Trial is an opportunity for undergraduate students to learn about trial techniques used by lawyers in the courtroom. Students have the chance to take on the roles of attorneys and witnesses in "mock" civil and criminal legal issues. Participants gain experience and knowledge in areas such as: the stages of a trial, how to argue objections, and how to direct and cross examine a witness. Learning how to present a case clearly and effectively will improve the abilities of both the student w ho may and the student who may not be planning to go on to law school.
