Luke Wagner, Shaw senior, was awarded
Outstanding Attorney at the Regional Mock Trial Competition in Albany Georgia,
on February 23. Congratulations Luke! Coached by volunteer attorneys and
teachers, teams of 14 students worked together to prepare their presentations
from case materials. In the competition phase, students played the role of
attorneys and witnesses based on the evidence and witness statements.
Professional attorneys or judges served as the presiding judges and
juror/evaluators. Teams were evaluated on their ability to make a logical,
cohesive and persuasive presentation, rather than on the legal merits of the
case. Adding to the authenticity of the competition, teams competed in actual
courtrooms across the state beginning with the regional competitions.

sponsor.
