Soda City Trials


​Thank you to everyone involved with our inaugural invitational. We are excited to host the 2020 Soda City Trials virtually.
The trials will be held November 21-22.

​​Mock trial is a team activity that gives competitors the chance to explore the legal system and develop the advocacy skills needed to excel within it. Our teams compete in tournaments around the country, where we present court cases as the Prosecution, Plaintiff or Defense based on materials provided by the American Mock Trial Association.
Mock trial will undoubtedly give pre-law students an edge before starting law school, but any student has much to gain through participation. It's a great way to learn how to excel under pressure, improve your oratory skills, and work well with others. Our alumni have succeeded in widely varying fields, from attending elite law schools, to serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, to pursuing careers ​in neuroscience and nuclear engineering. 
Mock Trial is highly competitive, with over 750 teams from across the country. South Carolina has advanced past the Regional level 10 times over the last 12 seasons. We capped off the 2019 season with a Top 10 finish in Philly at the National Championship!
SC Mock Trial has 4 tight-knit teams of 6 to 10 members apiece, who work together to ensure that the program as a whole is successful. Our members have the responsibility of deciding the program's structure, strategy, and schedule. We host our own tournaments, travel the country, and elect our leadership from within. It's a great way to make friends on campus and off!
