Congratulations!!!!

It was a great night for White Station HS Mock Trial! It has been 5 years since the City Championship trophy was won by the Spartans. 2011, with a defeat over St. Mary's the Spartans won. This year, February 17th, it was again a win over St. Mary's. The Turkeys put up an amazing case and made the Spartans work for every objection, every testimony and every moment. Thank you to the Turkeys of St. Mary's for an excellent round. Congratulations to our seniors, Amy Grace Humber, Quin Mulroy, Nithila Ramesh, and Courtney Wright!

This year's case has been released. Tryouts have been scheduled.

The case for the 2016 Mock Trial competition has been released. Click this link to download and print the case.

During tryouts, you will work with your classmates to prepare direct and cross examinations of witnesses from the new case materials. Applying the principles from class, one student will play the witness, one student will do the direct examination, and one student will do the cross examination.  I encourage you all to try both witness and attorney roles.
