Playing Court Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a lawyer for just a few months? Well this is what the Mock Trial team will be doing this year. Approximately 40 students were given the state case for last year’s Mock Trial team and were expected to read, analyze, and come up with a two-minute closing statement to present on September 21. The students were evaluated based on their ability to comprehend the main points of the case, and how confident they were in presenting their case. The judges of the tryouts were the attorneys and coaches of the team, Ms. Jennifer Griffin, Lori Stuart, and Jose Franco. Lori and Hosea are both public defenders for Santa Clara County and have volunteered their services in order to help the team.

This year’s mock trial team is as follows: Prosecution: Pre-Trial Attorney: Attorneys: Witnesses: Prosecution Alternate:
