Students experience all aspects of a trial from the pleading through discovery, jury instructions, witness preparation, trial, verdict, and post-trial motions and formulation of appeals. Full-time faculty members who oversee classes of six to eight coordinate the program. Classes consist of lectures, demonstrations, and trial-skills exercises. Full trials are held in the courtroom and conducted before judges and juries. The School of Law sponsors two teams who conduct a simulated trial and compete in the regional competition.
Student organizations play a vital role in meeting the many special interests of the student body.
Programs and publications sponsored by these organizations provide great volunteer, educational opportunities. Below is a list of student organizations available.
