Students from Mother McAuley recently faced off against Marist High School in an exciting Mock Trial competition that showcased their legal knowledge, teamwork, and public speaking skills!

During the competition, students presented opening statements, examined witnesses, and delivered closing arguments in a realistic courtroom setting. 

Special thanks to Judge Jack Hynes (ret.), who oversaw the trial and gave individual feedback to all participants.
