To join Northeastern mock trial, prospective members are required to go through a tryout process.
Our program runs on a yearly cycle, meaning the only opportunity to join each year occurs in the fall.
We host tryouts in mid-September where we ask prospective attorneys and witnesses to perform a persuasive speech, a witness portrayal, and witness questioning.
In order to stay up to date on when tryouts will be, join our email list, follow our Instagram, and check out our table at Fall Fest!

General Information
How are teams structured?
We have three teams consisting of 8-10 members each. This typically includes 3-4 witnesses and 4-6 attorneys.
How are competitors placed?
At first, our teams are stacked evenly based on skill and experience, giving newer competitors a chance to learn from and get to know their more seasoned teammates! After each pre-stack team has competed in at least one competition, we restructure our teams into a A, B, and C teams based on skill.
