From the MBA:

The Mock Trial Program has been structured with the following goals in mind:
 * To further your understanding of the law, court procedures, civil liberties and our legal system;
 * To increase your proficiency in basic life skills, such as listening, speaking, reading and reasoning;
 * To develop your advocacy skills regardless of which side of the case is being represented and irrespective of the party with which you most identify;
 * To promote better communication and cooperation between you, the schools and the legal profession; and
 * To heighten your consciousness of law-related professions and the academic studies, which lead to those professions.
