University of Toronto Mock Trial Club
introducing...
THE AMERICAN MOCK TRIAL TEAM
Our dedicated team members come from diverse academic and extra-curricular backgrounds, all with varying prior experience levels in mock trial. Our team demonstrates that no one "type" of person should get involved with mock - everyone can bring something very different to the team and learn with us as we compete.
