Description
Notre Dame Mock Trial is a nationally competitive program, uniquely classified as a class, a club, and a team. Together, our members work to learn courtroom procedure, understand the federal rules of evidence, and improve our public speaking skills to compete at tournaments throughout the school year. We've had a fantastic year, placing in the top 5 at several invitationals, as well as qualifying two teams to the Opening Round of the National Championship. We are so proud of everything we've been able to accomplish as a team, and are already looking forward to improving our performances next year!
What is Notre Dame Day?
During this exciting time, we have the unique opportunity to earn a portion of one million dollars! Make a $10 gift on Notre Dame Day (April 23 – 24), and receive 5 votes to cast. The total number of votes we receive decides our percentage of the $1 million.
Mock Trial Association, Notre Dame
We are excited to announce our participation in Notre Dame Day, when the Notre Dame family comes together to celebrate what each of us loves most about the University. Mock trial has shaped the Notre Dame experience for many of our members, and with the help of your donations, we hope to continue to provide that kind of experience for our current and future teammates.
Why are donations necessary?
Going to invitational tournaments in the fall gives us the opportunity to practice and improve before making a run at regionals and nationals in the spring. This is important, but it can also be expensive. Please consider making a donation to help us cover things like trial materials and tournament fees so that our program can be as successful as possible!
