Whereas, students presented the plaintiff and defendant sides of a fictitious case before a panel of local volunteer judges and lawyers and also filled the roles of defendants, witnesses, bailiffs, and timekeepers. Each team was judged on its presentation skills; and
Whereas, ably led by teacher coaches Amy Howe and B.J. DeCerbo and attorney coaches Josh Holdford and Martin Spratlin, team members included Shannon Cherney, Bailey Phillips, Lukas Gschwandtner, Ariyana Gore, Taylor Moon, Kacey Markarian, Brandon Lynch, Madison Genevro and Alexis Jones; and
Whereas, the Most Effective Attorneys for the weekend were Shannon Cherney and Kacey Markarian. The Most Effective Witnesses were Ariyana Gore and Bailey Phillips; and
