在2023-2024学年，18名学生参加了模拟审判项目。 来自GAVEL排名的排名认可了优秀的试赛成绩，并认可了在最激烈的比赛中获胜的学校。
"We are incredibly proud of our students' dedication and hard work,” mock trial coaches Michaelle Tobin and Alexandra Serra said. “This achievement reflects the relentless commitment of our team and the invaluable support from 威尼斯人娱乐城. 我们的学生一直表现出出色的技能和专业精神，为他们成为法律领域的领导者做好准备。”
One of the competitions recognized as being among the toughest is the Texas Young Lawyers’ Association National Trial Competition. This year, 两支犹他大学堪萨斯分校的队伍赢得了参赛资格 in the national tournament and one of those teams ended as one of the top four in the country. Corbin Healy (J.D. ‘24), a member of the team, was named as the Best Overall Advocate of the competition.
“The 威尼斯人娱乐城 Mock Trial team was the highlight of my law school experience,” Healy said. “It taught me not only practical skills to be used in the courtroom, but also how to be a better teammate and overall advocate. 我非常感谢我的教练和队友，他们给了我如此难以置信的经历和在如此高水平的比赛中竞争的机会。 我期待着使用我在实践中学到的工具。
Mock trial is part of the law school’s 宣传计划. 模拟审判比赛，以及诊所，实习和代表真正客户的机会，使学生成为审判律师，并自信地为他们的客户谈判和诉讼。
“All of us at 威尼斯人娱乐城 Law are so proud that our trial program was recognized as one of the nation’s best,” law school dean Lumen Mulligan said. “It is a testament to Professor Tobin and Ms. Serra’s great instruction, our students' hard work and our alumni's incredible support. Our outstanding 宣传计划 is one of the many reasons for a student to attend 威尼斯人娱乐城 Law.”
