What kind of commitment am I making if I join the team?
This depends on your aspirations. During the season, we meet during our regular class hours (see “Do I get credit for this”) which are Monday’s on Sundays from 6pm2-8:45pm5pm. Although, as competitions approach, we do add additional meeting times to practice (Usually Saturdays or Sundays). We also attend Invitationals throughout the season at various universities (i.e. Miami, UF, FSU, Kennesaw… just to name a few). These will usually take up a 1-2 days over the weekend in which we travel, compete, and return. As far as roles go, being an attorney will require the most time. Attorneys must be involved in every aspect of the case, and know it inside and out. Witnesses must be know their affidavits and portray their character in a realistic manner. Time Keepers are required to keep the time of all aspect of the case (Because we only have a certain amount of time total to try the case). Pending on your role within the team, and what part of the season we are in, a member can expect to spend 4-20 hours a week on Mock Trial (it may sound like a lot, but once you get involved, you see that it isn’t). and obviously those numbers will rely upon how much responsibility you wish to take with the team.
How will this team benefit me in the long run?
