Penn Mock Trial is a student group at the University of Pennsylvania - and the school's one and only competitive mock trial program! Since the 1970s, the Penn Mock Trial team has traveled around the country to compete in some of the most prestigious tournaments—providing outlets for future lawyers, actors, debaters, and public speakers to refine their craft. Mock trial refers to the act of simulating a trial. It is often conducted by students in order to understand trial rules and processes in a trial. A mock trial will simulate lower-court trials, conducting all the procedures of an original trial in an abbreviated form. It’s a mix of public speaking, acting and debating. It’s having the skill to take the stand and be a ridiculous eye-witness, a grieving mother or a serious doctor. It’s dominating the courtroom and swaying an entire jury box to vote in your favor. It’s sharp suits, fiery rebuttals, and fast paced objection battles.

PMT has given me a family that I never would have had upon arriving at Penn!

Mock Trial has allowed me to hone my legal abilities and also learn how to speak extemporaneously!
