How to Join the Trial Team

The National Trial Team holds tryouts each spring; first-year day students, first-year evening students transferring to the day program, and second-year evening students are invited to join.  The tryout process usually begins shortly after spring break.  In round one, each student is provided with a trial packet and presents a closing argument to the team.  Some students are called back for round two, in which they prepare a cross examination.  The new members are chosen by the existing team under the guidance of Professor and Coach Jerome Deise.
