Hello, Political Science students! UMBC Mock Trial wants you to join one of the most successful Mock Trial programs in the country! Do you want to join an activity that’s fun and challenging? Do you want to work on or show off your public speaking or acting abilities? Do you want to make close, meaningful friendships? If you do, then UMBC Mock Trial is the place for you.

UMBC Mock Trial is the top-ranked Mock Trial team in the state of Maryland and is ranked in the top-25 nationwide (out of 750+ teams). We've advanced to the National Championship in three of the last four years. Our teams travel all over the country and win awards at the best tournaments nationwide. We’re looking for new members to help get us to Nationals in 2021 -- and you could be one of them! All competitions and practices are happening on Zoom this year, so we'll still have a full season despite the pandemic restrictions.

Our first information session is tomorrow (Monday) at 12 PM noon and we hope you'll consider attending! You can learn more about the team and the tryout process, and you'll have a chance to ask any questions you have. Here's our info session schedule with Zoom links:
