About the Competition

Trial advocacy is the branch of knowledge concerned with making attorneys and other advocates more effective in trial proceedings. A mock trial is a method of clinical legal education. Learning the law in practice at the college level is the essence of a mock trial. A mock trial is nothing but a model court trial offered through simulation. It teaches the students law in practice before the Criminal Court. Any criminal case before the actual court takes years together to complete the procedure, including judgment. However, in mock trials students are trained to show the complete procedure within a short span of time. It is taught as an essential trade skill for litigators in law schools and in continuing legal education programs.
