THS Mock Trial Gears up for Success

“I object!” The THS Mock Trial team is at it once again for another year of success. Guided by teacher Mrs. Weatherwax, the Mock Trial informational meeting is on Sept. 12, 2016 at 2:30 p.m after school in room 417. Come out and help the team win by debating and preparing good arguments. This year’s case is “Pat Justice V. CAT News, et.al” and will focus on the First Amendment and the issue of defamation.

In 2015 Talawanda Team Darrow made it to the State Competition in Columbus and two members of that team are returning as coaches this year.

Tryouts are 7:00-8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016. Practices are every Tuesday 7:00-8:30 p.m. and Thursday 5:30-7:00 p.m. beginning Sept. 22, 2016. THS Mock Trial has members of Miami University Mock Trial and Talawanda alumi on its coaching staff and the program seeks to make its members more informed on the U.S. Constitution and justice system as well as to foster critical thinking and public speaking skills.
