Title: Palm Beach Lakes High School Mock Trial Team 1st In State

Description:

Palm Beach Lakes High School Mock Trial team recently won the Florida Mock Trial Competition and competes at Nationals, May 10 -12 in Dallas, Texas.  This is the first time a high school from Palm Beach County has taken the state title.  Team members for Palm Beach Lakes are Uriah Ellis, Wesley Mathieu, Lisa Archer, Zack Tortora, Elisabeth Bernard, Tiara Shurns, Julie Conde and Shani Crooks. Their mock trial coach is Phillip Stillman. 

The Florida High School Mock Trial Competition is an academic competition in which a team of eight students simulate the roles of both attorneys and witness in a fictional trial situation. Students have approximately five months to prepare themselves to fit into the roles of the prosecution and defense of the case materials. This is the most hands-on, intensive learning simulation about the trial process available to high school students.
