On Tuesday, November 11th, the Chadron mock trial team competed at districts at Scottsbluff County Court House. The team won one round but lost the second round.
Chadron's mock trial varsity team competed against Kimball in the first round. According to Grace Sorenson, a varsity team lawyer, the first round went very well and the team was able to demonstrate their skills effectively. In the second round, the team competed against Gering and lost the round. Gering went on to win the championship and is now heading to state. The Gering team nominated Cassie Nesheim for being the best lawyer, and Lauren Collins was nominated for being the best witness in the Gering round.
A mock trial meet starts with a coin flip. The team who wins the coin flip can choose to be the plaintiff or defense team. The plaintiff team brings up to case to the other team, while the defense team is the one being accused. One team wins based on how well they present the case, and that teams moves on in the bracket. The teams continue competing until a team wins the championship.
