Think of it like a speech and debate competition that takes place in a court room setting. Some members on the team act as lawyers - making speeches in front of a jury, questioning witnesses, and arguing objections. Other members perform as witnesses - inhabiting the role of a character involved in the trial (which can include accents, costumes, and acting skills). You win a mock trial round by being more persuasive, polished, and charismatic than the other school that you compete against. People who are good at mock trial are cool under pressure, have good memorization skills, and know how to capture attention. When you join the team, we'll teach you all those skills you need.
