Thurgood Marshall Trial Team

The Thurgood Marshall Trial Team seeks to create a collegiate atmosphere where students will learn the art of advocacy, which includes: learning the intricacies of trial forensics, mastering the federal rules of evidence, honing public speaking and true communication skills, and successfully competing at regional and national trial competitions.

The team holds tryouts each spring; all current non-graduating students are invited to join. Students will be given a trial packet and be asked to present an argument. Those that present according to the given guidelines will be chosen. 1Ls are invited to tryout for the team and participate in team practices but cannot compete until their 2L year.
