Georgetown Mock Trial

Interested in acting, public speaking, debating or the law? Georgetown Mock Trial is a competitive club that attends tournaments around the country.

Each year we receive a case (alternating between criminal and civil) from the American Mock Trial Association. Students on the team assume roles as lawyers and witnesses and compete against students from other schools in front of judges. Tryouts for new members take place each fall semester. See us at SAC Fair or contact us at [email protected] for more information!

Finally to wrap up our Meet the New Members Series is Daniela Castillo (MSB ‘26)!  
Major: International Business
Minor: French

Q) Why did you try out for GUMT?

I have a rather unhealthy obsession with doing mock trial and love running a good cross or arguing an objection. Going into college, I knew I wanted to continue doing mock trial and get a look into the world of college mock trial. Mock trial people are also just fun to hang out with, if we're being honest.

Q) What are you most excited for this year?

I'm excited to compete against other universities and see the styles of other college mock trial teams. I'm excited to drive to tournaments and get to know the team better as the year continues:)

That’s it for our new members, but stay tuned for tournament updates as we compete throughout the rest of the semester!
