Last week, The American Mock Trial Association released its Bonus Bid Rankings for the 2008-2009 season and GW Mock Trial is ranked #1 in the nation.

The Bonus Bid Ranking System is based on the total number of ballots accumulated over the last three National Championship Tournaments.  Over that period, GW has amassed more points than any other program in the country.

If so, you have come to the right place.  GW Mock Trial is consistently one of the most competitive and successful mock trial teams in the nation.  To find out more information visit our recruitment page and stop by our table at the Colonial Inauguration Student Org Fair on Day 3 of CI to say hello!  If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us an email anytime.
