Law Society Mock Trial Competition Round 2
On Tuesday 27 April, the St Patrick’s College Mock Trial team competed against the team from St Mary Star of the Sea College. It was a great day and both teams enjoyed being able to argue their side of the criminal case in front of Ms Sarah Carr, who volunteered her time to assist as a magistrate.
As barristers on the prosecution team, Molly M and Amelia M strongly argued their version of events and did well to establish a strong case against the accused. They were expertly instructed by solicitor Bianca R. Our witnesses Olivia L and Monique R relayed their witness statements clearly in their examinations-in-chief and delivered confident responses during cross-examination. Layla E assisted the court proceedings as a magistrate’s clerk and performed her duties with care and diligence.
Although we did not win this round, the team performed exceptionally well on the day and are now feeling more confident in preparing for the next round of the competition.
Other members of the Mock Trial team who assisted on the day include:
- Chelsea P
- Leah A
- Tara G
- Tavara S
- Grace J
- Isabella W
- Aisling F
