Team JMLS is gearing up for an active summer preparing for three of the premier national mock trial competitions. We have enjoyed success in the past, but this year Team JMLS has its eye on the top prize. During the summer, the team will engage in its own form of a pre-season training camp with a series of workshops designed to hone their skills, enabling them to hit the ground running when the competition problems are released in the fall. In early August, four team members will be slated for each of the following three competitions:
- National Trial Advocacy Competition (NTAC)
- Buffalo-Niagara National Mock Trial Competition
- Georgetown White-Collar Crime Invitational Competition
The remainig 6 team members will be designated as alternates. Team JMLS consists of veteran team members who know what it takes to win. We know they will have a great summer gearing up for the fall and look forward to a very exciting competition season.
Additional tryouts are scheduled for August 29th and 30th for two remainig competition teams.
