Spring 2013 Try-Outs
The Spring Try-Outs are open to all 1Ls. Effective as of January 2013, this will be the last year that tryouts will be open to 2Ls who have at least 2 SEMESTERS remaining at Florida Coastal. In order to try-out, interested students must attend ONE of the FOUR Informational Sessions.
DATES FOR THESE MEETINGS WILL BE POSTED IN THE SPRING SEMESTER
Try-outs will be split into two rounds. The first round will consist of giving an opening statement and conducting a direct examination of a witness. Only the top advocates from the first round will be invited to compete in the second round of try-outs. The second round will require the advocate to give a closing argument and conduct a cross-examination of a witness. Both of these rounds are very competitive and will require a good amount of preparation. The number of advocates that the team will invite to join Mock Trial will depend on numerous factors and is up to the discretion of the Faculty Advisor.
