It takes a special kind of person to do a mock trial. Future lawyer? Maybe. Good actor? Perhaps. Someone who willingly inflicts stress on himself/herself over a fake court case? Absolutely.

1. You can't help but watch "How to Get Away With Murder" and silently point out all of the things that wouldn't ever actually happen during trial.

2. You have a bad habit of using legal jargon in your everyday conversations.

3. You have a picture like this from every single tournament.

4. You own more legal pads than you can count.

5. You know the impact of the Power Triangle.

6. You're slightly offended when the American Massage Therapy Association comes up first when you Google AMTA.

7. You enjoy seeing real lawyers watch a tournament and not understand the world of Mock Trial and what passes as okay.

8. You hated witnesses who just wouldn't ever cooperate on cross-examination.

9. But you also secretly loved being the witness who wouldn't cooperate.

10. Running around a college campus in courtroom attire doesn't phase you.

11. You know that there's nothing worse than a judge who will sustain an objection that clearly should've been overruled, just to see what you do with it

12. You know that you'll be at practices 24/7 during the week before a tournament and likely delirious by the end of it.

13. But you're suffering through it with your team, so it's really all worth it.
