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!

Q) What are you most excited for this year?

I'm really excited to get to know my team better and collaborate with them as we compete in different tournaments!

Q) Why did you try out for GUMT?

I spent a ton of my time in high school digging through pre-trial case law, studying objections, and practicing statements.  I loved my high school mock trial experience, and I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to continue participating in the program.
