The Law & Trial Association at UTD
Where Future Advocates Build Their Case.
We give UTD students an introductory experience into the field of law and its practices through competitive mock trial, lawyer panels, legal workshops, and real connections to the legal community.
“Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”

The Competition
2026 Intramural Mock Trial Competition
The LTA Intramural Mock Trial Competition was formed to be a bridge between Texas High School Mock Trial and UTD's Collegiate Mock Trial program. We invite Texas high school mock trial witnesses to compete in a mock trial where UTD students get to step into the shoes of lawyers and argue the annual case.
December 5 to 6, 2026
Two 2-hour trials
24 to 32 students
Who We Are
Developing Legal Minds at UT Dallas
The Law & Trial Association (LTA) is a student organization at UT Dallas dedicated to connecting students with the legal world, regardless of major or career path.
We give students real exposure to the field through events like alumni and lawyer panels, LSAT prep, and our Intramural Mock Trial Competition. Looking ahead, we're expanding with case competitions, law firm tours, and more networking opportunities to help you build connections and confidence before you ever set foot in a courtroom.
Whether you're pre-law or just curious about the legal field, LTA has a place for you.
