Mock Trial
Polytechnic Mock Trial
In my junior year, the Mock Trial team at my school was just in its first year. Having had experience with speech and debate for multiple years and Moot Court, I joined Mock Trial as a pretrial attorney. At the same time, I worked with witnesses to edit their testimonies and coordinate much of the team. We ended up 5th out of over 90 teams in the LA Mock Trial Competition. This year, I am a captain, and we will be competing soon in November.
Peer Potential Mock Trial
In the summer of 2025, I competed in the international Peer Potential Mock Trial, working with a team with participants from Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Britain. Having never met one another before and only having a week to prepare, we argued over little details and formed lasting friendships. Ultimately, we earned second place overall, and I received an Outstanding Witness award.
