ABOUT US

#75 IN THE NATION

Since 2008, the competitors at Florida State Mock Trial have worked together to do one thing: succeed. That goal has been met countless times by countless students that have joined, grown, and graduated from our program. In the 2020-2021 season alone, our competitors received 52 individual awards, five 1st place finishes, nine top-4 finishes, 3 bids to the nation's Opening Round Championship Series, and a bid to the National Championship Tournament.

​

In the few years that FSU Mock Trial has been active, our program has quickly grown beyond the scope of our Tallahassee campus. Our tournaments- the Capital City Invitational and the Sunshine State Showdown- are a way to give back to the activity that has brought us all together at both the collegiate and high school level.

​

Whether it be in the courtroom, the classroom, or abroad, the Seminoles at Florida State Mock Trial have always strived to be the very best advocates they can be- for themselves and others.
