Broncos Mock Trial
The Bronco Mock Trial Team is a competitive, award-winning organization that allows students to earn firsthand experience of litigation and courtroom procedure. Mock Trial teaches students the basic trial lawyering skills, including criminal and civil law, rules on presenting evidence in court, how to question witnesses properly and courtroom demeanor. Students compete at regional competitions each year and hold regular team practices. At the beginning of each fall semester, the team invites students to join the team.

About Mock Trial
Students who join the team are officially part of the Cal Poly Mock Trial Association. All team members are required to regularly attend practices and can be placed on one of several groups which may or may not compete. Mock Trial is a student-run organization that emphasizes skills rivaling the courtroom skills of licensed attorneys.
Students are invited to try out for the teams during the fall semester. Veteran members will recruit students throughout the first few weeks of the school year. The team then practices to eventually attend the regional and national competitions occur during the spring semester.
