UGA Mock Trial Members Rave About Experience

HAPPY TEAM: UGA Mock Trial members get dinner together after a tournament.

11.22.09 UGA Mock Trial members recently completed a survey asking for their feedback on Fall semester. The results of the survey were clear: Our members love UGA Mock Trial.

On average, our members gave their overall experience this Fall a rating of 9.11 out of 10, with more than half the members rating their experience as a 10.

Many members said traveling with their team to competition was their favorite part of UGA Mock Trial, and the majority gave glowing reviews of their E Board member and Captain. Each Fall invitationals team is led by an E Board member, as well as a Captain who is appointed by a majority vote of E Board.

A few notable quotes from the anonymous surveys:

"[My E Board member] made Mock Trial WAY more fun than I ever thought it would be or probably should have been."

"I had so much fun with my team. Everyone was so supportive, helpful, and caring. Mock Trial as a whole has been a great experience!"

"Very organized. All meetings were focused on getting things done."

"I loved it. We had fun while also learning a lot."
