Why Mock Trial?
“I chose the LitiGators because I knew I would be apart of something truly special! Everyone is extremely talented and motivated to do well, so it pushes me to do my very best as well!”

“I chose the LitiGators to find my group of people on campus. My first year at UF was hard. I wasn’t a part of many organizations but the instant I joined the LitiGators at the start of my second year, I knew I was where I was meant to be.”
AJ Coots
Third Year LitiGator
“I chose the LitiGators because there is nothing comparable to being supported and uplifted by the people around you. This team is my family on campus and it’s amazing to be on a team where you want to see each other in and out of practice.”
