Mock Trial Club

Quotes to come:

They’re guilty – of being the coolest club on campus! Constitutional Rights Foundation, better known as Mock Trial Club, is a new academic team that focuses on the complicated and dramatic processes surrounding a courtroom trial.

Being the first of its kind for AHS, Mock Trial Club operates very differently from regular academic teams. The whole team receives the details of one murder case, and then spends weeks preparing both an argument for the prosecution side and for the defense. This involves every member taking on a specific role in the courtroom, ranging from attorneys and prosecutors to witnesses, clerks, and bailiffs. Unlike other academic teams, Mock Trial Club only competes in one annual tournament – The Mock Trial Competition, held at the L.A. County Supreme Courthouse on Oct. __

This year’s case is People vs. Bratton, a murder trial in which an aspiring comedian is accused of strangling a mouthy critic after the critic posted a negative review on a business review site. The witnesses for this case ranged from comedy club managers and struggling comedians to doctors and detectives.

The competition proceeds in an elimination format, where teams must win every round in order to advance to the next level of competition. There are two preliminary rounds, followed by octo-finals, quarter finals, semi-finals, and a final round to determine the L.A. County champion. The winner then moves on the statewide level of competition and if they win there, they proceed to the national level.

Experienced judges preside over the trials and decide the verdicts on the pretrial motions and the defendant’s innocence. ABCDEFG said, “Our judge was an actual juvenile judge so he was really comfortable with us. We even had a question and answer session after the round ended.”

Each round starts off with a pretrial motion, where the pretrial lawyers from both teams debate on whether or not the preclusion of a certain piece of evidence is constitutional. This year’s pretrial motion was to preclude “Inbox” and “Sent” messages found on a private internet account as outside the scope of the search warrant. In both Rounds 1 and 2, senior Andrew Chang played the role of the pretrial lawyer and won both of his motions. Opening statements followed, where junior Ray Chao introduced the case, witnesses, and evidence. After that, the direct and cross-examination period began where prosecutors had the opportunity to question witnesses. The closing statements, delivered by senior Carl Trigilio, summarized the entire case and strengthened the team’s arguments.

Ironically, although AHS won both the pretrial motions and the verdicts, they lost the competition by one point. AHS Mock Trial’s season may be over, but the team members still remain optimistic for next year. HIJKLMNOP remarked, “This was Arcadia’s first year ever competing in the Mock Trial Competition and we have a lot of potential. I believe that pound-for-pound, our talent surpasses the other teams’ abilities and with more time and effort, we will sail through next year’s competition.” There’s one thing that’s for sure, AHS Constitutional Rights Foundation will never acQUIT!

They’re guilty – of being the coolest club on campus! Constitutional Rights Foundation (CRF) is a new academic team that focuses on the complicated and dramatic processes surrounding a courtroom trial.

Being the first of its kind for AHS, CRF, advised by Mr. Jason Barclay, operates very differently from regular academic teams. The whole team receives the details of one murder case, and then spends weeks working with their attorney coaches to prepare both an argument for the prosecution side and for the defense.

Ironically, although AHS won both the pretrial motions and the verdicts, they lost the competition by one point. “Each and every one on the team was very strong in the courtroom.
