Welcome to Season 2 of the PALCS official podcast Winging It!
In this episode, meet members of the University Scholars Program (USP) Mock Trial team at PALCS, where students step into the courtroom to sharpen their skills in law, debate, and critical thinking.
Our students share:
- How PALCS’s flexibility allows them to pursue Mock Trial alongside their rigorous academics
- What it’s like preparing for competitions through preseason scrimmages, tournaments at LaSalle and Penn, and district championships
- The thrill of objections, cross-examinations, and finding small but powerful details in affidavits
- How Mock Trial builds confidence, teamwork, and public speaking skills that extend far beyond the courtroom
You’ll also hear inspiring growth stories—like students discovering their passion for law, overcoming nerves, and even transforming from shy witnesses to confident attorneys delivering closing arguments.
