Trial Team

Stetson Law has earned a national reputation for excellence in trial advocacy. One of the reasons for this recognition is its award-winning Trial Competition Team, which has won first place in more national-level trial competitions than any other law school in the nation.

The Trial Competition Team accepts new members during its annual try outs. To be eligible, you must be taking or have taken Evidence, be in good academic standing, and be willing to commit the time, energy and dedication to become a member of this championship team. Students selected for the team are given the opportunity to compete in state, regional and national mock trial competitions.

The trial competitions require students to demonstrate their trial advocacy skills in a simulated jury trial, during which they are evaluated by experienced trial lawyers and judges. Through this participation, a student will have the opportunity to perfect trial skills to a degree not possible through classroom instruction, and enjoy the most memorable experience of his or her law school education.
