W&M National Trial Team
About
William & Mary's National Trial Team is one of the top teams in the nation, boasting a formidable record in each of the most prestigious national competitions. Membership on the National Trial Team is a highly sought after honor and accomplishment, with more than 100 first and second year law students vying for one of approximately twelve open spots each year during the Team's Annual Selection Tournament. Selected members take part in a rigorous and comprehensive development program taught by the Team's advisor, Jeffrey Breit, an accomplished trial lawyer and past president of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association (VTLA). Members gain extensive training in all levels of trial advocacy, from evidentiary objections and fundamental trial skills to sophisticated trial strategy and persuasion. Members of the National Trial Team showcase and hone these skills by traveling and competing in locations including Puerto Rico, Atlanta, San Antonio, Pittsburgh, Washington DC, Baltimore, and San Francisco.
