Trial Team

The Trial Team is designed to give students real-world training in trial skills while still in law school. These skills, exhibited by team members in competition, carried the Barry University School of Law to the Final Four out of 223 teams nationwide in the Association of Trial Lawyers of America Trial Team Competition in April, 2005. To advance to that point, Barry defeated, in regional and then national championship round competition, several past national champions. In the Final Four semi-final round, Barry was one point on one judge’s scorecard away from advancing to the final round.

The ability to compete successfully against the elite of the Trial Team world is not earned easily. Team members spend an enormous amount of time doing so. Trial Team is not for everyone. For those who want to be in the trial arena, however, the most challenging arena there is for the practice of law – and size themselves up against the best students that other law schools nationwide have to offer – Trial Team is an opportunity you should consider. If you have the desire to graduate with a skill not held by many students, and want to be the best, consider Trial Team.
