About us
Northeastern Mock Trial is a competition-based club that participates year round in simulated trials through the American Mock Trial Association. We have three teams that develop legal cases and compete and present against different schools. Our club is open to all majors and has students from all educational backgrounds!
What is mock trial?
At the beginning of the school year, teams get a case involving a legal issue and have the whole year to develop arguments and compete against other schools. Members perform as both attorneys and witnesses and go through all the steps of a real trial: opening and closing arguments, witness examinations, and objections.
Trials are a chance to gain hands-on legal experience while gaining skills in public speaking, acting, and debate.
More than competitors— friends!
While we prepare cases and compete, our club is about more than mock trial - it’s about community! Outside of competitions, we have weekly dinners, team bonding nights, and other group activities!
