Ben Pius Mock Trial is Emory’s completely student-run trial advocacy team. Every year, students receive a case file and build a case to compete against schools around the nation. Students fill both attorney and witness roles, practicing public speaking, debate, and improvisation in a fun team environment. Currently ranked 19th in the nation, Ben Pius Mock Trial has qualified for eight National Championships and collected over 250 individual awards.
Managing the tournament schedules of three teams results in many costs. We have to pay for airfare, lodging, gas, poster boards, and paper supplies throughout the season. Multiply this by 20 for the 20 tournaments we attend in an academic year, and the dollars start to add up! Over the years, we have been incredibly fortunate to see the support from our community grow alongside our program. We truly would not be where we are today without your help and we continue to rely on donations like yours! Gifts of any and all amounts help us keep student dues low and keep Emory Mock Trial accessible to all students regardless of financial background.
