We rest our case: the Albany High Mock Trial team is well-positioned to claim victory at the upcoming county championship!
On Thursday, our Falcons faced off against Holy Names in the semifinals playing the defense and came home with a win! Seeded number one with a 4-0 record, our Falcons will go up against their biggest rival— Albany Academy—on Tuesday, April 8, in the final round for the county championship!
In Mock Trial, high school students are assigned to either the plaintiff or defense side of a case. This year's trial, Leyton Manns v. Sandy Townes, focuses on the intriguing topic of deep fakes produced using artificial intelligence.
Participation in Mock Trial is an amazing learning experience for our Falcons. The trials take place in a courtroom setting, and participants adhere to the same rules as professional attorneys.
Our team is made up of 17 dedicated students, who are mentored by two attorneys, Carolyn George and Judge Josh Farrell, and supported by club advisor Leah Powhida.
Let’s go Falcons!
