Learn
the law at LAW & TRIAL ADVOCACY.
Ready to explore the law and fight
for justice? In the Law & Trial
Advocacy conference, you’ll explore
various facets of the American legal
system and delve into criminal and
civil law with practicing attorneys
and law professors as your mentors.
Once engaged with the subject matter,
you’ll put it into practice by
considering ethical issues, crafting
oral arguments, and questioning witnesses.
The law will come to life when you
attend lectures and roundtable sessions
with prominent lawyers, judges, and
law-enforcement experts, and hear firsthand
how the law affects our lives every
day.

your own case in the MOCK TRIAL SIMULATION.
There’s nothing so exhilarating
as arguing a case or cross-examining
a key witness, especially when you
do it in an actual courtroom before
real law professors and your peers.
In our Mock Trial Simulation, students
act as either prosecutors or defense
attorneys in a trial simulation. While
you’re cross-examining a witness
or making a closing argument, you’ll
be learning how to think on your feet,
argue persuasively, and respond to
questions. Learn how to analyze and
synthesize evidence, prepare witnesses
for trial, and answer queries from
a judge. Win your first case at the
Law & Trial Advocacy and the real
courtroom won’t be far ahead.
