Club Synopsis

Members of MMU’s Mock Trial team prepare for and compete in the Vermont High School Mock Trial State Competition. Team members take on the role of lawyers and witnesses and learn trial skills. Students work with lawyers from the Vermont legal community to polish their skills and tactics.

MMU has competed in the Vermont State Competition for the past three years. Normally the competition takes place at Vermont Law School. In 2021, however, the team competed in a statewide virtual competition due to social distancing restrictions. Vermont State, Federal, and Supreme Court Judges as well as members of the Vermont Bar judge the competition.
