Developing the Next Generation of Trial Advocates

The GW Law Mock Trial Board is a student-run organization dedicated to excellence in trial advocacy, courtroom performance, and oral advocacy. Through hands-on competition and professional mentorship, our members develop the skills to advocate with confidence and represent GW Law at competitions nationwide.

First Step Into the Courtroom

From the Hollingsworth LLP First-Year Mock Trial Competition to the Cohen & Cohen Upper-Level Competition, GW Law students have opportunities to sharpen their trial skills, compete against their peers, and pursue membership on the Mock Trial Board.

Represent GW Law Nationally

Our members compete against law schools from across the country, putting their advocacy skills to the test in challenging trial competitions. With guidance from experienced attorneys and student coaches, GW advocates pursue competitive excellence on a national stage.

A Tradition of Advocacy. A Community for Life.

The Mock Trial Board brings together students, alumni, attorneys, and judges united by a commitment to trial advocacy. We welcome our alumni to stay connected, support future competitors, and help strengthen the next generation of GW Law advocates.
