"My participation in the Mock Trial Program was one of the most rewarding and treasured experiences from my time at Bellarmine University.  Mock Trial provided me with many of the skills that I currently use as an economics instructor and researcher, including the confidence to lead a university classroom, impressive public speaking and organizational skills, the ability to think on my feet, and the drive to compete and succeed.  Mock Trial was also the vehicle through which I met some of the most important people in my life, including competitors, mentors, coaches, and lifelong friends.  I fully expect to benefit from my skills gained from the Bellarmine Mock Trial Program for the rest of my life, and of course I will never forget the memories."
