Thurgood Marshall
​Mock Trial

​About the Competition

​The Thurgood Marshall Mock Trial Competition (TMMTC) is one of the oldest and most respected mock trial competitions in the United States. The TMMTC is sponsored by the Black Law Student Association (BLSA) and always held in conjunction with the BLSA regional and national convention. Every ABA-accredited law school in the country with a BLSA chapter is invited to compete in this annual competition. Each year, hundreds of competitors compete on the regional levels with the hopes of ultimately becoming one of the top 3 teams in the nation. The top 3 teams from each of the 7 regional tournaments advance to the championship round. UW is part of the Western Region, which includes 35 law schools. The UW-TMMTC team were 3x Regional Champions (2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15).

The TMMTC problem is typically criminal law. Teams are judged on their skills in opening statements, the examination of lay and expert witnesses, motion arguments, objections, and closing arguments. There is no written exercise. This year regionals will be held in Seattle, WA, and nationals will be held in Houston, TX. 

For more information on the TMMTC team, see the competition website.
