Diversity
Diversity is what makes UTMT strong. Diversity in Mock Trial brings an array of cultural, religious, orientational, and educational point of views so that we can come together and thrive as a team. The differences between us unite us and are celebrated in UTMT.”

-Erin Kephart, Senior

Leadership

I have found that UTMT is a place where everyone can develop and strengthen effective leadership skills. Whether it be from watching others lead by example or finding new ways to communicate with one another, mock trial encourages inner confidence and collaboration. Being a member of this organization has given me the opportunity to learn from a team of true leaders, and I look forward to advancing my role in this atmosphere."

Friendship

In the short time that I've participated in UTMT, I've connected with so many people that have made me a better, stronger, kinder human being. The people in this organization are not just friends, but family. The ties of UT Mock Trial will bind us together and withstand the test of time."

Challenge

Mock trial is a huge challenge. A lot goes into it but you learn so much about yourself through being in an organization like this. It is because of mock trial that I am able to handle the things that life throws at me."

Meaningful Work

I think one of the most profound qualities in anything you do is 'meaningful work.' The University of Tennessee's mock trial team not only alludes to this value, but it simply oozes it in every willing aspect. We manifest this value in various ways and by doing so the organization, along with each member, is able to attain a strong work ethic. Each member's drive to consistently go above and beyond in case work and throughout the organization itself, has produced values in myself I didn't know I had. Consequently, this has also enabled me to achieve goals I didn't know I could reach."

InVOLvement

Tennessee Mock Trial has empowered me to take on several other involvement roles here at the university. Being a member of the executive board for this organization has empowered me as a competitor and leader. Since joining mock trial, I have joined several other organizations and thrived in these roles as a result of the support UTMT has given me. Without mock trial, I wouldn't have the confidence that has lead to me join organizations far from my comfort zone."
