Participating in the UO Mock Trial Program via the Forensics Department was not just an integral part of my college experience, it was a crucial part of my professional development. Thanks to the Mock Trial Program I became a confident public speaker and a better writer, both of which are skills I use daily as a professional. Moreover, I am one of several alumni of the Mock Trial Program who are now working or studying in Washington DC. I can’t speak for others, but I doubt I would be in this position without UOMT.
