Donating to Story Chapter's participation in the 2025 Phi Alpha Delta Mock Trial Competition offers a unique opportunity to support the development of future legal professionals. This competition is the only one of its kind that DePaul participates in that allows first-year law students to participate, giving them an early start in honing essential advocacy skills. Unlike other trial competitions, students do not need to be members of the National Trial Team to compete, making it accessible to a broader range of participants.
Mock trial is a critical component of legal education, offering practical courtroom experience and the chance to refine trial techniques, argumentation, and public speaking. By supporting this competition, you contribute to the professional growth of aspiring lawyers and help them build the foundational skills necessary for a successful legal career. Your donation will directly impact the next generation of advocates, ensuring they are prepared to enter the legal field with confidence and competence.
