              The  Mock  Trial  Team  consists  of hard-working,  talented  young
              women who are interested in the law and social justice. As a team,
              we compete in the regional competition of the National Mock Trial Championship sponsored by the Westchester
              Bar Association. The goal  of Mock Trial, however, is not winning. It is  to facilitate  the growth of the individual
              student as a person able to work with and support others, as a knowledgeable citizen acquainted with the legal
              system, and as a community leader working for the betterment of humanity. The goals of Mock Trial set by its
              members  are  to  promote  greater  understanding  of and  appreciation  for  the  law,  court  procedures,  and  the
              American judicial system; to improve basic life skills, such as critical thinking, reading, speaking, and advocacy; to
              improve communication and cooperation among key community members, including schools,  teachers, gov­
              ernment leaders, law professionals, and citizens; to heighten appreciation for the principle of equal justice for all;
              to  promote  an  awareness  of current  legal issues;  and  to promote  the  exchange  of ideas  among students from
              throughout the United States while providing a rewarding and memorable experience of interaction.
