D's Mock Trial Society at National Tourney

St. Petersburg, FL - The Dartmouth Mock Trial Society's Team Green competed in the American Mock Trial Association's National Intercollegiate Mock Trial Tournament in St. Petersburg, Florida on March 11-13th. The team qualified for the St. Petersburg national tournament after placing 4th overall in the Northeast Regional Mock Trial Tournament at Manchester Community College in January. Team Green finished the national tournament with an overall record of 5 wins and 3 losses against extremely talented competition, earning the team a fifth place trophy. This outstanding performance marks the first time since 2001 that a Dartmouth team has placed in the top ten at a national tournament.

The three-day tournament hosted forty-eight teams from the nation's most competitive programs, including George Washington, Virginia, and Yale, all of which competed in four trials. In ranking among the top five teams in its division, Dartmouth once again demonstrated the strength and high caliber of its mock trial program. Team Green's record demonstrated the outstanding future potential for Dartmouth's mock trial, particularly given that more than half of the team's members were freshmen.
