Our Statesman Club participated in the Utah Law Related Education Mock Trials. We competed against other schools in the State, arguing both Prosecution and Defense in different competitions. Steve L. was an attorney and they were coached by yours truly. What an amazing experience! We competed in real courtrooms with real attorneys for our judges. I know I've learned so much about the legal system during this process, and these kids get this experience at age 12 and 13! Our team was mostly sixth graders competing against ninth graders and they really held their own. Very impressive. Steve L. said of the experience, “It’s not easy being an attorney. It was hard, but fun!”
