UMNUMB

The University of Minnesota – Twin Cities’ Undergraduate Mock Trial Association is pleased to have just finished our 16th Annual UMNUMB (University of Minnesota’s Nordic Undergraduate Mock Trial Battle) tournament. UMNUMB was unprecedentedly strong and fun for a competitive early-season tournament. Tab summary and details about next year's tournament can be found under our Tournament Tab.

Golden Gavel

Each year, The University of Minnesota holds Golden Gavel, a single day mock trial tournament for all the high schools of Minnesota! This is typically an early season tournament for the high schoolers to get their feet wet and compete against some of the strongest competition in the state! Not to mention, a great opportunity to see the University of Minnesota's campus and have an introduction to college mock trial as most of the judges are college mockers themselves! Golden Gavel is a two-round tournament where each team will compete both rounds for a chance to win team and individual awards! Details can be found under our Tournament tab.
