Welcome to Stanford Mock Trial

Stanford Mock Trial is a student-run organization that simulates realistic trials by presenting either a civil or criminal case each year. We compete against other universities across the nation at a series of highly competitive tournaments. Read more about College Mock Trial and our team on the About Page.

Help Mock Trial

As a student-run organization, we are grateful for the support of a number of dedicated law students who volunteer their time and energy to help our program. Our coaches, James Barton (1L at Stanford), Jordan Dickson, Meredith Wallis (Professor), and Danny Cassman (2L at Stanford) give countless hours of work and their passon, energy, and expertise to our program. If you are a law student or attorney in the area who might be interested in assisting our team, please contact us.

Recent changes in University funding policies have made it difficult for the Mock Trial team to get funding. We appreciate donations of any amount that will help us to ensure that financial status is not a barrier to participation in this program. Please contact us if you or your organization might be willing to donate.
