Coach Hall of Fame
Since its inception, Mock Trial at the University of Washington has been supported by a network of coaches from all different backgrounds. Whether they are alumni of our program, alumni of another collegiate mock trial team, or just someone who loves mock trial, they all share a common passion for the progression and success of our student-run program. Our mock trial team would not be where it is without our coaches. We cannot thank them enough for the time, effort, and love they have put into our mock trial team during their time with the program.
