Mock Trial is a competitive speech and debate activity focused on trial advocacy. Through engaging in trial simulations in competition with teams from other institutions, students develop critical thinking and public speaking skills, as well as a knowledge of legal practices and procedures. Mock Trial boasts the most competitive field of any undergraduate activity; thousands of students from more than six hundred teams compete in Mock Trial tournaments each year.

A tournament consists of four "rounds" of competition, in which plaintiff or prosecution teams face off in a trial against defense teams. Each team competes twice as the plaintiff/prosecution, and twice as the defense.
