The Winsor School of Boston competed at the National High School
Mock Trial Competition on May 8-10 in Madison, WI. A portion of
their trip was funded by a donation from the Massachusetts Bar
Association's philanthropic partner, the Massachusetts Bar
Foundation.
This past March, Winsor defeated Pioneer Valley Performing Arts
Charter Public School of South Hadley to repeat as State Champion
in the 29th annual High School Mock Trial Program. The championship
marked the third state title for Winsor since 2010 and earned the
team a second straight trip to nationals.
The annual competition places high school teams from across the
state in simulated courtroom situations where they assume the roles
of lawyers, defendants and witnesses in hypothetical cases. A total
of 139 teams competed in this year's state competition, which
featured 211 trials, 106 judges and more than 40 court venues
across the state. The program is administered by the MBA with
support from the Brown Rudnick Charitable Foundation Corp. and the
Massachusetts Bar Foundation.
