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

MMU’s 2019 Mock Trial Team on Competition Day at Vermont Law School in 2019. Vermont State, Federal, and Supreme Court Judges as well as members of the Vermont Bar judged the competition and were extremely impressed with the performance of MMU students. Individually, Gina Airoldi received the award for Best Defense Attorney and Byrce DiNardo was awarded Best Prosecution Witness.

MMU’s 2020 Mock Trial Team put in a tremendous effort to prepare for the 2020 Competition and was very excited to compete at Vermont Law School. Unfortunately, the competition was cancelled a few weeks before the competition due to the pandemic.
