For Law Schools & Clinical Programs
TrialSim gives law school programs the infrastructure to change that.
Now supporting BAC University’s moot court team in Malaysia.
Hiring partners at litigation firms and public defender offices cite the same gap: new associates can research and write, but they freeze in the courtroom. They have not had enough reps.
Clinical professors cannot supervise unlimited repetitions. Moot court reaches a fraction of students. The students who need the most practice get the least, because there is no infrastructure to provide it at scale.
Many law students graduate with limited opportunities to perform full examinations under real pressure. They may know what good advocacy looks like without having enough repetitions to make it instinctive.
TrialSim places students in realistic courtroom scenarios — opening statements, direct examination, cross-examination, objections, closing arguments, and appellate advocacy — and responds dynamically to their performance. Witnesses have psychology, not scripts. A hostile witness who senses weakness presses it.
After every session, TrialSim surfaces the three most consequential moments in the performance — not just errors, but strong instincts and missed opportunities. It names what it saw, offers an alternative, and sets one specific focus for next time. Not a scorecard. A coaching conversation.
Every session is scored across eight dimensions of trial performance — the PRESENCE rubric. Scores accumulate over time, producing a trajectory that shows not just where a student is but how fast they are developing.
For programs, TrialSim supports visibility into cohort-level engagement and performance trends. Faculty can identify broad skill gaps and use structured data to make supervision and instruction more targeted.
The PRESENCE rubric was built from the competencies that experienced trial attorneys and clinical educators identify as the difference between adequate advocacy and exceptional advocacy.
Command of the facts, the law, and the strategy before the first word is spoken.
The ability to listen, adapt, and respond to what is actually happening rather than what was planned.
Technical proficiency in the mechanics of examination, objection, and argument.
The voice, presence, and authority that make a jury or judge want to listen.
Reading the room — witness, jury, judge — and adjusting in real time.
Keeping the story coherent under pressure, across every phase of trial.
Understanding the procedural and spatial dynamics of the courtroom as a performance environment.
The competitive instinct that presses an advantage, recovers from a setback, and never loses the thread.
Each dimension is scored independently, producing a profile — not a single number — that shows exactly where a student is developing and exactly where they need work.
01
Before a student makes their first appearance in a live clinic matter, they complete a structured sequence of TrialSim sessions calibrated to their practice area. The professor reviews their PRESENCE trajectory before the first supervision session. The conversation starts with data instead of starting from scratch.
02
Between supervision sessions, students practice independently. The platform tracks engagement and performance automatically. Professors see which students are putting in work and which are not — without requiring self-reporting or adding administrative overhead.
03
Students preparing for mock trial, moot court, or advocacy competitions use TrialSim for deliberate repetition outside scheduled practice sessions. The coaching layer identifies specific habits to break and skills to develop — the kind of targeted feedback that usually requires one-on-one time with a coach.
The professor's time becomes more strategic. TrialSim handles the repetitions. You handle the development.
Student performance information is handled under TrialSim's privacy and institutional access controls. Faculty visibility can be configured for the program and limited according to applicable permissions.
Case materials and student data are handled under TrialSim's security and privacy controls. We work with institutional partners to define appropriate access and data-handling expectations before deployment.
TrialSim does not sell student performance data. Data handling, service-provider access, and AI-related processing are governed by our privacy, security, and institutional terms.
Every program is different. We'd rather understand yours before telling you what TrialSim can do for it. Tell us a little about your program and we'll be in touch within one business day.
No sales deck. No pressure. Just a direct conversation about whether TrialSim fits what you're trying to do.
