UMass Mock Trial Team 2025!!!

The UMass Mock Trial Team is a student-run organization that competes in various tournaments nationally. Every year we strive to bring a National Championship to UMass Amherst, and every season we’ve gotten closer to that goal. In the 2024-25 season we sent 3 competitive teams across the east coast for tournaments during the invitational season. Two years ago we went to our first Opening Round Championship Series (ORCS), and last year, we had another explosion of success! From regionals in New Jersey and Rhode Island, we sent two out of our three teams to ORCS- One team went to Washington, DC, and the other traveled all the way to Illinois! We’ve kept up that momentum and started this season extremely strong with THREE First Place trophies at Yale, Northeastern, and UAlbany, one Second Place Trophy at UAlbany, and 15 individual awards! This season, we hope to go even further and make it to the National Championship Tournament!

However, due to our unprecedented success in the past two years, we’ve had to spend more money than expected, especially on travel expenses like plane tickets and hotel rooms. UMass Mock Trial is a team that is getting stronger every year, and in order to continue our ascension this year, we need your help. 

Beyond just that success, though, we unfortunately lost almost all of our competition materials in the Olympia Place fire. Multiple members of our executive board were living there and storing our materials when the fire occurred. While this fundraiser is for our team expenses, we as a team are also continuing to do everything we can to support them at this time. If you’d like to support them individually as well please reach out to our Director of Fundraising, Blake Mallah, bmallah@umass.edu or to our official umassmock@gmail.com email and we’d be happy to help you help them!

Please consider donating whatever you are able in order to help us have an amazing year next year and support a hardworking, student-run team!
