Disciplined, Determined, Devoted.
Bellarmine Mock Trial, a program of Bellarmine University, is one of the oldest and most honored mock trial programs in the country, with members who have come from coast to coast and beyond. The program travels throughout the country during competition, affording members access to celebrated courtrooms and legal figures, and impressing countless lawyers and judges along the way.
There are numerous benefits to joining the Bellarmine Mock Trial Team, many of which apply regardless of major or intended career. For those interested in the legal profession, it will allow you to become familiar with trial procedure, an abridged version of the Federal Rules of Evidence, and courtroom etiquette. For all members, public speaking and being able to think on your feet are valuable skills that are learned and honed throughout the season. Outside of learning, you will also get the opportunity to travel the country with friends you may not have met otherwise and compete together.
Whether you are interested in the legal profession as a career, enjoy acting, want to improve your public speaking skills, or are just looking for something new to do, we would love to have you on the BU Mock Trial Team!
