FHN Mock Trial Team Starts

Published: January 17, 2014

The FHN Mock Trial team will have their first official competition at 6 p.m. on Jan. 28. Team members have attended practices every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. To prepare for the competition that will be held at St. Louis County Courthouse. Mock Trial is a staged court trial with no defined script in which students are assigned a specific role, such as a witness or lawyer.

“It teaches a lot about the law and gives me a real-life experience with trials,” senior Alex Groenweghe said. “I want to be a lawyer when I’m older, so this is pretty helpful with that.”

The team will compete against other high schools in the area. All teams competing are provided with a practicing lawyer that attends, practices, and helps members better understand the process of a court trial. FHN’s team will have a rehearsal at and against Pattonville High School on Jan. 20, which students and parents are welcome to attend.
