‍Juris Education interviewed Taylor White, Assistant Professor of Legal Analysis and Communication, School of Law, Mississippi College, for an exclusive look at what sets the school's Trial Advocacy Program apart.

What makes the Trial Advocacy Program at MC School of Law stand out from the competition?

First, the Moot Court Board at MC Law is unique in that it is fully student-led. Our program encourages students not just to practice their oral advocacy skills with one another, but it also gives select members a chance to hone their responsibility and leadership skills. Students manage every aspect of the Board from selecting travel teams to stewarding the organization's budget. Second, the program's robust alumni network makes it stand out from the competition. We have more alumni volunteers to judge rounds, coach teams, and travel for competitions each year.

Which qualities can students build during the Trial Advocacy Program at MC School of Law?

There are numerous qualities students can learn and perfect through MC Law’s Trial Advocacy Program. As members of the Moot Court Board, students are given opportunities to compete in various trial and appellate style competitions across the country. Students are given the chance to present as trial advocates, trial witnesses, brief writers, appellate advocates, and more. As such, students hone not only the skills of argumentation and writing that are required of future attorneys, but also the interpersonal confidence and networking skills that are integral to building a law practice once they graduate.
