We want to highlight Mock Trial Again on our giving day thread! They have brought home so many wins and we couldn't be prouder.

Help them meet their goal at go.eku.edu/give-MockTrial

Our Mock Trial team competes nationwide against Big Ten, Ivy League, and every program in between. With no divisions in Mock Trial, our students regularly face opponents with far greater resources—yet they continue to compete with confidence and skill.

This spring, we are trying to raise $5,000 to fund travel and essential team needs, including demonstrative evidence and professional attire.

Mock Trial changes lives. Alumni credit the program with giving them the confidence to pursue law school, succeed in diverse careers, and lead under pressure. As a faculty member, I believe many students learn more in Mock Trial than in any other course I teach. Your support will help ensure this opportunity continues.
