Mock Trial Program

Elon University School of Law participates in two national trial advocacy competitions, creating an opportunity for second and third year students to expand their advocacy skills. The Mock Trial program, which started at Elon Law in 2010, allows students to participate on an Advocacy Board. The Advocacy Board plans for regional and national competitions and conducts an intramural competition which determines selection for the Advocacy Board. Students on the Board may participate in one of two national competitions: the Texas Young Lawyers Association national criminal trial competition and the American Association of Justice national civil trial competition. Students participating on national competition teams receive academic credit for their work on the team.
