So proud of the HHS Mock Team for finishing 3rd in this year’s competition. There was some great competition and they held their own. Congratulations to @roslynparrish08 for earning honors for Best Defense Witness!

Amazing!

Pre-Law 3 students visited the TN Supreme Court. In class, students have been learning about the appellate process. Today they were able to see what they learned in action. This trip gave our future legal minds a firsthand look at the importance of law and justice in our state.

Prelaw students began a simulation that reveals the intense pressure justice professionals face to solve crimes and get convictions. Hilighting how becoming emotionally attached to a specific outcome can cause tunnel vision, resulting in mistakes, bias, and wrongful convictions.

Words cannot express how proud I am of this girl. Her grit, perseverance, and determination are endless. I am so happy that she achieved her goal of playing not one, but two sports in college. Hard work pays off! Get it, girl!

I am so proud of our mock Trial team. We finished 3rd overall. Madeline Pederson earned an award for Runner-Up Best Plaintiff’s attorney. Our very own Lilli Hawn was awarded the Overall Most Outstanding Attorney of the entire competition. Congratulations to everyone!

This week we did criminal mock trials. Students learned how unreliable witnesses, plausible defense theories, and frustrations around the rules of evidence can make proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt a challenge.

Family Law Mediation simulation day. Students are learning how complication and challenging is can be to settle family disputes.

Proud of all these ladies!
