On Saturday the 25th of April the 2015 Mock Trial team trekked
out to the Criminal Courts Of Justice in Dublin, to compete in the annual mock
trial competition. The team consisted of researchers, barristers, solicitors,
witnesses, T.V reporters, legal reporters, tip-staff, a photographer, a sketch
artist, a timekeeper and a couple of jury members.
The team spent many weeks
preparing for all aspects of the cases,
with the help and guidance of Mr Daly and Ms O'Neill. The very
successful 2014 Mock Trial Team also assisted the girls in their preparation.
This year the team prepared for two cases, based on an arson attack and an
assault case. The researchers prepared the stories of the witnesses. The
barristers used this information to help with their chief and cross
examinations. The team were one of the 34 schools competing on the day, for an
invitation to World Final in New York.
Although the team performed extremely well at the competition,
unfortunately they did not progress into the next round. It was a wonderful
experience and great fun was had by all.
