As members of the Mock Trial Team, students act as attorneys and witnesses and present the case as both the prosecution or defense in a simulation of a jury trial. Scores are based on performance, knowing the facts of the case, and understanding the law. The Federal Rules of Evidence are utilized.
Whether you have an interest in law school or simply want to further develop your public speaking, critical thinking, and team building skills, Carthage Mock Trial is for you.
The team is coached by Michael Phegley, professor of management and marketing, and attorney Margaret Zienkiewicz, adjunct faculty of management and marketing. Liv Higgins ’22 is an assistant coach to the team. Also assisting the team this season are Jon Allen ’22 and Alicia Lederhaus ’23.
