The Trial Advocacy Board, better known as TAB, is a student led organization dedicated to providing law students with the opportunity to learn the skills necessary, and gain the experience, for effective trial advocacy through competition. Students learn how to try a case from the preparation stages to closing. This includes trial prep, opening statements, direct and cross examinations, and closing arguments. UK students attend 3-4 competitions each year in various states across the U.S. With an exceptional trial record, UK’s TAB is known for their tradition of excellence. We win – a lot.
