Don't forget to apply for Empire Mock Trial 2018 this weekend! The application shouldn't take very long and is due on Monday, May 7th. Empire is an international Mock Trial organization that runs tournaments, including the world championships. UTS is sending a team to compete for the third time at the World Championships in NYC from November 16 19, 2018. We are currently looking for witnesses and lawyers who are passionate about law, acting, and public speaking. The tourn...ament is fun and engaging, but note that it is a significant time commitment and requires extensive preparation, particularly towards the end of October and into November. The application (linked below) is quite short to complete, and quality applicants will be notified for a brief interview/audition (the applicant will be provided materials and instructions to prepare for a cross-examination, either as a lawyer or a witness). Applications are open to current M3s-S5s. Apply Here: https://goo.gl/forms/lhO7n5s9mKd74a0R2 Due: Monday, May 7th We're looking forward to reading your applications!

Hello, Everyone. Here they are, applications for the 2016 UTS Empire Mock Trial World Championship team. https://docs.google.com//1NZfRTL9UYeHNaBCmuV0jpF47cy/edit These applications are due by Friday, May 27 at Midnight. ... When deciding whether to apply please keep in mind these factors. First: this is an expensive trip, it could be $1,200 or more. If you receive a bursary from the school they will cover the same percentage of the trip as they cover your tuition. Ie 20% bursary means 20% off the trip. Secondly, this is a very large time commitment. We expect at least 3 hours per week worth of work either at home or meetings, and towards the tournament dates November 10-14 it get very,very busy, and you'll have to be able to drop everything to help the team. We need a team of 13 and will need at least 7 new members for our team. If you have any question do not hesitate to contact me. Please submit your application to once you're done. Good luck!

This is a copy of the email sent to UTS students. Hello UTS, As the President of UTS Mock Trial, I want to give everyone a little bit of information about UTS Mock Trial and what events we have coming up.... Currently, we are getting ready to prepare our World Championships Team. This will be a team of 13 individuals with 7 lawyers and 6 witnesses, who will most likely be made of M4s-S6s (next year) however sometimes M3s may be able to join. (Unfortunately since this is an external tournament F1s and F2s can't participate, but are always encouraged to watch our meetings). Usually, a Mock Trial team is comprised of UTS students of many different backgrounds, be that: Debate, DECA, Show and many other activities. How a Mock Trial experience works is, we gather our team and assign roles. These roles are based on a case we are given. In this case, witness statements and exhibits will be given. Based on these materials we craft our witnesses' personas and our lawyer's examinations and statements. Then in the competition, we run through all the stages as you would in a real trial (including a new pre-trial component). The rounds are scored on if you team wins or loses the round and how many points your team accumulates. If Mock Trial sounds like something you are interested in then keep checking UTS students because we will be posting applications later this week. These applications will be for the World Championships Team. The Tournament takes place November 10-14, 2016 in New York City. More information on specific details, like, costs, time commitment, the number of available spots, etc will be sent with the applications. In the meantime if you have any questions about what Mock Trial is, or if you want to know if your skills can be applied to Mock Trial, please feel free to ask me. I'll be happy to help. -- Go Gators! Freedom is only understood by those without it. Ben Jones

Congratulations to the UTS Mock trial Team for managing to bring the 1st place trophy back to UTS. The hard work and dedication that you all put into the effort will not be forgotten. Special Congratulations to our witnesses, and as always the level of preparation form our lawyers was impeccable. Thanks to Mr.Bitidis whose help was invaluable in our success and to all our our lawyer mentors. Without you we wouldn't have been able to do it.
