Thank you for your interest in St. Olaf's Mock Trial program!\u00a0<\/span> While there are no try-outs (yay!), we do require regular attendance at practices.\u00a0 \u200b<\/span><\/span>To learn more about the St. Olaf Mock Trial program, you can find us at the fall\/spring co-curricular fair. You can also sign up to our email alias or contact the executive team through email or from the \"Contact Us\" page.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\nWhat is the time commitment like?<\/h2>\nOur competition season is from September to March. We have two practices each\u00a0week (4 hours\/per week). However, it is common for attorney-witness pairs to meet outside regular practices as well.\u00a0For example, in the weeks leading up to regionals, our teams usually meet three or more times a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\nIs it free?<\/h2>\nAll members pay a flat, yearly due.\u00a0These dues help us cover the cost of transportation, hotels, and AMTA fees.
