Trial Advocacy Division
Georgetown Law is currently ranked 2nd in Trial Advocacy by Fordham University School of Law.
The Barristers’ Council at Georgetown University Law Center has supported competitive student advocacy for seventy years. The Trial Advocacy Division chooses its members through the annual intrascholastic William W. Greenhalgh Trial Advocacy Competition. Those who accept invitations to the Division undergo training with practitioner coaches. Georgetown Law’s trial advocacy curriculum supplements our program through clinical education and advocacy classes. The 2020 US News & World Report rankings place the Georgetown trial advocacy program 15th nationally. The Barristers’ Council Trial Advocacy Division hosts the annual National White Collar Crime Mock Trial Invitational, an elite national tournament that hosts sixteen teams by invitation.
The National White Collar Crime Mock Trial Invitational
For almost two decades, Georgetown’s National White Collar Crime Mock Trial Invitational has been a standard in the law school mock trial community. Sixteen teams from around the country are invited each year to try an original case based on a current issue in white-collar crime.
