For the 1910 card game, see Mock Trial (card game). A mock trial is an act or imitation trial. It is similar to a moot court, but mock trials simulate lower-court trials, while moot court simulates appellate court hearings. Attorneys preparing for a real trial might use a mock trial consisting of volunteers as role players to test theories or experiment with each other.
Mock trial forces students both to hone arguments based on evidence as well as perfect the techniques required to present evidence in a courtroom. If you are a Cadet interested in joining Mock Trial, please contact Cadet Mickey Briggs at mickey.briggs@usma.edu.
