FAQs:
Where will try outs be held?
At the law school. In room 133 for moot court and 127 for mock trial. You will get an email with this information a few days before your try out and there will be a sign in the entrance hall on directing you on the days of the tryout process. 

Dress code for tryouts?
Business casual is recommended, not required.

Can I get academic credit for participating on a national team?
Yes. You are eligible for 1 non-graded credit per 45 hours of substantive work (ex: travel time is not counted). You have to fill out a form at the beginning of the quarter and keep a log of your time. Taking it for credit is optional.

Can I read off my speech/brief in the audition?
Yes, you can have those with you and check/read from them as needed. But extensive reading is not recommended.  

​I'm interested in NNALSA, do I need to try out at this time?
No. Contact Professor Mills [email protected] if you are interested in NNALSA
