MMU's Mock Trial team on trial day at Vermont Law School

As a whole, the team did great. They were prepared, confident, and poised. They represented MMU admirably. Vermont Supreme, State, and Federal court judges (who judged the competition) and members of the Vermont Bar were extremely impressed with their performance. There were 14 teams competing from 10 schools, including an entry of students from Vermont Law School. Individually, Gina Airoldi received an award for Best Defense Attorney and Bryce DiNardo was awarded Best Prosecution Witness.
