UCLA Law Mock Trial Association

UCLA Law Mock Trial Association Each team represents either a plaintiff/prosecution or defendant.

Mock Trial is a simulated trial, where teams of four people compete against each other in front of real judges and attorneys, to show off their oral advocacy and court decorum skills. The teams complete all stages of a real trial starting from pre-trial motions (aka motions in limine) and ending with closing statements.

They moved the location…but not the champions 🏆

Congratulations to camille (3L) and Dylan Darwish (3L) for emerging as champions of the National First Chair Competition!

These advocates “first chair”-ed each side of the case entirely on their own. For their stellar advocacy in the preliminary rounds, they BOTH received Outstanding Advocate awards. This is UCLA’s second year winning the competition and it doesn’t look like we’ll be slowing down anytime soon 🐻

Thank you to coaches Ireland Larsen, Nick Boroski, and Justin Bernstein for all their help!

What a weekend!

This is the fifth year AAJ has allowed schools to qualify two teams to Nationals. UCLA has had 9 teams reach the National Quarterfinals. No other school has had 5.

This year, UCLA continued that trend. Both teams made the playoffs.

Congratulations to .judd (2L), (3L), (1L!!), and ._wallace (1L!!) for making it to the FINAL ROUND of AAJ Nationals, losing out on the championship by a single ballot. We are so proud of this talented squad.

Also special shoutout to (3L), .parker27 (3L), (3L), and (2L) with a stellar showing in the playoffs, making Quarterfinalists. The Bruins showed up 🐻.

Thank you to coaches Justin Bernstein, Jack Eyers, Sarah Stebbins, and Enrico Trevasani for bringing the best out of these students.

Keep an eye out in the coming weeks as we recap our other competitions and for when the Bruins tackle TYLA.
