Information Sessions
In order to tryout for a spot on the team, you must attend the information sessions hosted on campus. We will have two information sessions, but you are only required to attend one before tryouts.
During this information session you will learn about the LitiGators as a team, including how the team operates and what is expected of you during the tryout. You will also get a chance to meet and talk to many of our current members of the team as well as ask them any questions you may have.
2024’s info sessions will be hosted on August 26 and August 28 in the Pugh Hall Ocora from 6:30 to 8:00 pm, however doors open at 6:00 pm. No registration is needed for attending the information session.
To try out, you will be required to complete a Calendly Invitation. This invitation will only be accessible during the information sessions discussed above (if you cannot make it for some reason but still wish to tryout, you can email us).
For more information on dates and times of this event, please refer back to our website and follow the LitiGators Instagram as well as Facebook.
Tryout Information
There are two rounds of tryouts: the first round of preliminary tryouts and the second set or “call back” set. The first round is open to all undergraduate students who have registered for a tryout slot. Then the second round of tryouts is only for those students who we notify to return for a “call back” to see more of your performance. If you are not notified to return for a call back, you did not make the team. We encourage you to try out next year. Accepted students from the second round will be notified on September 7.
2024 round one tryouts will be August 30, 31, September 3, 4.
2024 round two tryouts will be September 6.
You may tryout as a witness, attorney, or both (we encourage trying out for
both regardless). We will provide you a condensed version of a case packet. This material will serve as your tryout material and guide.
Attorneys must write and perform an opening statement as well as a cross examination. Whereas witnesses will be direct and cross examined by one of our current members.
More information about what tryouts entail will be provided during the information sessions. If you unfamiliar with mock trial , do not worry! We will equip you with examples and resources during information sessions!
Also, we host office hours for students trying out. We encourage you to use this resource. Information on office hours can be found on our social media platforms, the information sessions, and can be booked via Calendly.
Once you have reserved your tryout spot – you may access the Case Packet at this link.
