Collins Hill MOCK Trial

“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, your Honor, if it would please the court” . . .

It has been alleged that there are several students here at Collins Hill High School who are not yet members of our MOCK Trial Club and further alleged that they should be coming to our meetings and getting involved.

I object to that allegation, your Honor. Surely it is hearsay! No student would intentionally ignore such a great opportunity to use their drama, speech, and other personal skills, would they?! Surely not!

If it pleases the court, I would like to enter the following statement into evidence in support of my case.

“Any student who is 14 years of age or older (or will be before our competition in February) is hereby put on notice that we are still seeking answers as to why one would totally ignore this great opportunity to become involved in Mock Trial.

It has already been established by previous witnesses that students can join us as we prepare for tryouts for a role on our Mock Trial Competition Team. Furthermore, we have already established a need for members who are passionate about the area of law and who want to exhibit their skills as they join either the Prosecution or the Defense Team in trying our challenging criminal case at competition. We need witnesses, we need attorneys, we are entering a plea of guilty as far as seeking, and dare I say pleading for more members.

The facts are clear. We meet each Tuesday at 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. in Room 1.016. A local attorney is already involved in preparing us for trial. Don’t wait to be subpoenaed. Join us at our next meeting.”
