The Ole Miss Mock Trial Association was founded in 2002 as an organization to promote legal education at the undergraduate level. Competing as a member of the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA), the OMMTA has advanced to postseason championship tournaments four times in the past five years.

Completely student-run with a coaches board established for guidance, the OMMTA has produced attorneys who have worked across the country and attended law students such as Wake Forest School of Law, University of Mississippi School of Law, University of Virginia School of Law, and graduate programs across the nation.

Take this time to browse our website. The mock trial season runs from August 15 of each year until regionals. If a team competes well at regionals they advance to postseason championship tournaments. We hope you will become involved with the award-winning Ole Miss Mock Trial Association.
