Trial Advocacy Society
The Trial Advocacy Society is a student-run organization committed to developing trial advocacy skills and preparing students to become effective trial lawyers. This mission is achieved through a variety of activities, which includes hosting student competitions, such as the 1L Closing Argument Competition and the 2L Mock Trial Competition, as well as through other events including educational seminars, guest speakers who are prominent jurists and trial lawyers within the community, and hosting social events focused on trials and the development of trial skills.
The Trial Ad Society also sends student teams to compete in both the National Trial Competition and the American Association for Justice Student Trial Advocacy Competition.
