On Tuesday, November 1st, the YHS Mock Trial team competed in its first event of the season. The team traveled to the Lancaster County courthouse in Lincoln to argue their case against the Norris Titans. The judge found in favor of the Dukes case starting the season off with a victory for the York team.
Mock Trial is a competitive event for high school students sponsored by the Nebraska State Bar Foundation. It assists high school students interested in law to acquire valuable knowledge and skills. Participants role play a court room case. They play the parts of lawyers, witnesses and defendants before a real life judge.
The team looks forward to a great season. Last year's team qualified for state and ended their season with an 8th place finish in the state competition. This years state competition will be December 6th and 7th in Omaha.
Good luck to the Dukes!
