South Texas College of Law Advocacy

We’re starting our semester off strong! A huge congratulations to Mic, Taylor & Zach for advancing to the Semi-Finals in the Tex-ABOTA Best in Texas Voir Dire competition this past weekend🎉

Calling all Houston-area attorneys! The South Texas Mock Trial Challenge is this weekend and IN PERSON.

Eleven years ago, our law school started the South Texas Mock Trial Challenge graciously hosted at the Harris County Courthouse. This prestigious tournament brings together students from across the country for a national mock trial tournament. This year alone there are over 40 law schools competing!

If you are able to volunteer your time to judge, please use this link to sign up. https://my.stcl.edu/advocacy/mock-trial-challenge

Judges will receive an electronic copy of the problem before the tournament and then a Bench Memorandum upon arrival at the courthouse on the day of the tournament.

The tournament is a great educational experience for the law students, and good judges are the most important component.
