The annual P.A.D. Law School Mock Trial Competition is an opportunity to practice your trial advocacy skills in a courtroom setting. Students develop skills including creative problem solving, effective collaboration, forming a persuasive argument, public speaking, critical thinking, and thinking on your feet.

The 2023 Competition marks P.A.D.'s 16th year hosting this event. The event will be held in February 23-25, 2023, at the Hilton Arlington in Arlington, VA. 

The Competition provides the opportunity for teams comprised of 4 P.A.D. Law Chapter members each to compete on a national level, not just within your local community. Students compete for first through fourth place, with additional honors for outstanding defense, prosecution, advocates, and witnesses awarded. The competition is judged by volunteer lawyers & judges (both P.A.D. alumni and non-members) and Mock Trial veterans who offer invaluable, real-world feedback. This competition is for P.A.D. law school chapters only.
