I credit a large part of my educational and professional accomplishments to Mock Trial. In my last year at Oregon, members of the mock trial team showed up to sit in on an ASUO meeting for three hours, asking for emergency travel funds for the next tournament on the road to the national championship. I remember every member of the ASUO senate was amazed at the turnout of our dedicated members—noting that no other student org had such a presence of not just board members and leadership, but ordinary members demonstrating the important role of mock trial in their college experiences. I’m certain Mock Trial has left such a deep impact on members since then, and that those members are more committed to the program than any other student for any other student org.
