ABOUT US
#41 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.
