ORCS at Rhodes College in
Memphis, Tennessee (2025)
OVERVIEW
Any undergrad at Rice is welcome to audition for our program! Auditions are held at the start of every Fall semester. Mock trial is not limited to any specific major or experience level; we currently have a range of majors on our team, including political science, math, philosophy, computer science, economics, and so much more.
While we encourage everyone to try out regardless of mock trial experience, please keep in mind the time commitment of being a member. We practice a minimum of 4-5 hours each week and we will be competing in two tournaments in the Fall, including Rice’s very own invitational, Rice Bowl!
In the Spring, our teams will be delving into the AMTA competition season, and you will be traveling for 2-3 weekends.
First full team meeting of the
2025-2026 season!
OPEN HOUSE
We will have two open houses the first weekend of Fall semester. If you’re interested in joining mock trial, please come! We will be giving an overview of what mock trial and our year looks like, as well as providing essential audition information and we will be able to answer whatever questions you may have in person. Email riceumocktrial@gmail.com with any questions.
TRYOUT CASE MATERIALS
*COMING SOON*
Tryouts for the RUMT 2026-2027 season will be held at the beginning of
