The Ithaca College Mock Trial Team is a competition based organization that combines elements of the law, public speaking, and performance. Each year, the team receives a case from the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA) and uses those materials to prepare a case which we present against other teams from around the country. Students act in the roles of both witnesses and lawyers and gain experience in critial thinking, problem solving, and thinking on our feet.
