"In only its third season, the students on this team have come a very long way in their understanding and practice of various forms of law, courtroom proceedings, and the ins-and-outs of the Mock Trial competitive world," said Patrick Sullivan, Religion Teacher and Mock Trial Club Moderator. "I know I speak on behalf of Kathryn Vaughn, the Mock Trial co-moderator, when I express how proud I am of these talented, dedicated, and creative young men."
Joseph Kim '21 and Eamon Passey '21 were recognized as best attorneys in their respective rounds while Chris Bunn '22, Michael Tobin '21, and Will Buffaloe '21 each received individual recognition for their performance as attorneys in individual rounds as well.
