The 2023 Rebel-Trojan All-In Mock Trial Tournament is the fourteenth year of the first ever American Mock Trial Association format trial advocacy competition to come to Las Vegas.
This year, the tournament will take place at the Clark County Regional Justice Center. The UNLV and USC Mock Trial Teams co-host the tournament with the UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law and the Greenspun College of Urban Affairs.
THIS YEAR, the students will present either the Prosecution or Defense side in the civil case of Felder v. KC Air, LLC. Here's a summary:
On July 4, 2021, attorney Morgan Felder joined pilot Reese Campbell for a flight over Basin Lake. After departing the Rapid River Valley Airfield, the aircraft deviated from its planned route and eventually crashed into the nearby Mount McIntosh. There were no survivors. Ari Felder—Morgan’s spouse—has brought a negligence suit against Koller Campbell Air LLC, the company that owned the aircraft.
Negligence is the claim. Whose fault is the crash? Will Ari Felder recover ... anything?
*** We welcome practitioners and judges with civil and/or criminal experience.

What Mock Trial Judges Do
Presiding mock trial judges actually rule on objections, and conduct the trials, just as real judges do. Scoring mock trial judges score the students' performances and give them evaluative commentary. We strive to provide one presiding judge, and two scoring judges, per trial.
What Mock Trial Competitors Do
During the Rebel - Trojan, colleges and universities from around the nation compete against each other by using the Federal Rules of Evidence to present either the Prosecution/Plaintff or Defense side of a mock case. Each side will present an Opening Statement, Direct & Cross Examination of 3 Prosecution witnesses and 3 Defense witnesses, and Closing Arguments.
