Carle Place High School’s Mock Trial Club finished their outstanding tournament season with a strong performance in the prestigious annual competition hosted by the Nassau County Bar Association.
In the initial preliminary round, the team presented a compelling case on behalf of the plaintiff and triumphed over Paul D. Schreiber High School. This victory was made possible by the meticulous preparation and exceptional skill of the student attorneys: Hudson Hsieh, Lorelei Gorman and Arianna Liveris. The team's witnesses— Megan Rice, Abigail Agostinho and Bernadette Green —also played an integral role, having studied their affidavits in detail and skillfully fielding inquiries from the opposing side.
In the second round, the team continued to demonstrate their aptitude by defeating Syosset High School. Attorneys Evangeline Reinoso, Isabella Cezario and Arya Chowdhury, along with witnesses Jake Santos, Emma Agostinho, and Hudson Hsieh, exemplified teamwork, professionalism and strategic thinking.
Despite the team’s elimination in the intermediate round, their efforts did not go unnoticed. The students received numerous commendations from the judge for their legal knowledge, professionalism and preparation.
Mock Trial Club adviser Mrs. Fraser, as well as the assisting attorney advisers, congratulate the team members for their dedication, hard work and the high standards they consistently uphold.
