New Jersey State Bar Foundation’s Vincent J. Apruzzese High School Mock Trial Competition

NJSBA Vincent J. Apruzzese High School Mock Trial Competition

 Mock Court Workshop for Students' Coaches 

October 26, 2016

This year, the mock trial case is about a mock trial competition! After years of trying, Metropolitan High School's mock trial team finally defeated longtime rival Greenward Academy in the Metropolitan County finals, only to find their victory dampened in light of allegations of cheating. Did a student blogger from Greenward defame senior Shea Simmons, a star student-attorney from Metropolitan, causing Simmons to lose a much needed college scholarship?

Speakers at podium are David Azotea, Esq. and standing next to him is David Pfeifer, lawyer-coach and teacher-coach respectively for Holy Spirit High School in Absecon
