NUMT Needs Your Help!
Northwestern Mock Trial is a team of 35 students that compete at a national level against other universities around the country. We’ve brought home awards for having some of the best individual competitors in the country, and ranked TOP-10 at nationals FIVE TIMES in a row. We’ve sent many of our own on to go to some of the top law schools in the nation, including Harvard Law.
And we need your help.
Mock trial is an expensive activity — we have to register our teams, purchase and print materials, register for tournaments, drive or fly to tournaments, and pay for hotels at tournaments — but we are committed to making sure financial accessibility isn’t a barrier for anyone on our program.
If you could consider donating to our program, it would be so greatly appreciated. Your donation will help us reimburse members for travel to tournaments, purchase the materials we need to compete, and pay the registration fees to be able to accept invitations to the top tournaments across the country. Every cent goes back towards keeping our teams on the road and preparing for nationals and making sure this program is a home to everyone, regardless of income.
