Summer 2008 New York State Mock Trial Summer Institute: Because of my efforts and progress in the mock trial program, I was accepted as one of the 45 students from all over New York to attend the Mock Trial Institute at Darrow College Preparatory school. I spent a week there preparing a case with a team of strangers. At the end of the week, our teams acted out the trial to the best of our ability. I learned some amazing trial techniques and I made a lot of friends with whom I still keep in touch with.
