Legal Studies at Ball State University

11/01/2025

The Ball State Mock Trial team is still raising money to help fund its competition in Illinois. There are only a few days left in their campaign. These students work hard all year and the only funding they receive is what they can earn. With your help, every student can participate and not be held back because of the cost of travel. The team thanks you for your generosity.

Help Ball State University raise $3,500 for the project: Illinois State Invitational Competition. Your gift will make a difference!

Ball State's Mock Trial team is Crowdfunding to help defray the costs of travel, specifically so they can compete at the Illinois State Invitational next month. And they need your help. Every dollar will help these hardworking students continue to evolve into the legal professionals of tomorrow. Link is in the comments.

We are proud of the students that devote hours of study and effort into the Mock Trial Association. Competing is hard work, and it requires funds. Your Day gift can help Mock Trial meet the costs of traveling to competition to represent Ball State proudly. If you want your gift to go specifically to Mock Trial, indicate that in the "In Honor of" line of the donation form.

We thank the Indiana Court of Appeals for visiting campus and allowing our students to witness oral arguments. And we especially thank the judges, their law clerks and opposing counsel for joining us for lunch and engaging with our legal studies majors.
