The University has provided a Mock Trial budget. However, students should be prepared to cover some costs. The exact amount covered by the budget is dependant on the location of the tournaments, hotel and transportation costs, receipt of a bid for nationals and factors unforeseen. Students should expect to pay for their own meals. We will make every effort to limit the number of people per room.
Tournament rules require that most competitors wear business attire.
This means suits for attorneys and attire appropriate to the character, status and position of each witness. Please be prepared to dress appropriately during a three-day tournament. During the weeks immediately prior to competition, we may have extra class meetings. We may also schedule the occasional weekend practice session. As in any other class, students should do preparatory work and additional rehearsal outside of meeting times.
