 2011-2012 Season
 
     The 2011-2012 competitive season is about to begin.  We attended a number of tournaments last season, where we achieved a great deal of success.  We are currently in the pre-season stage, and are continuing with our goal to, once again, conclude at the National Championships in April.  Please see the list below for information regarding some of our accomplishments last year.

     The following tournaments make up the "Post Season" for undergraduate mock trial.  All teams that are members of the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA) are invited to compete in a Regional Tournament.   Each school is only allowed to send two of their teams to each Regional Tournament, so we must compete in 2 Regional Tournaments.  In order to advance to the Opening Round Championship Series (ORCS,) a team must finish in the top 8 at their assigned Regional Tournament.  Likewise, in order to move on to the National Championship Tournament, a team must finish in the top 6 at their ORCS Tournament. Here are our achievments in last year's "Post Season" tournaments.
