Our trial team trains tirelessly to compete in mock trial competitions across Florida and the country as a whole. Their success, including local and national championships and numerous best advocate awards, is a testament to our student and coaching staff’s commitment to getting results and refusing to be outdone.
The team is composed of second-year, third-year, and evening law students who are selected based on their performance at a rigorous tryout. The team competes in local, state, regional, and national competitions and is engaged both spring and fall semester.
