March 4th article "LCHS Mock Trial Team Advances To Regionals" starts "The case was contrived, and the plaintiffs and defendants were fabricated. But everything else about the 25th Mock Trial competition sponsored by the Pennsylvania Bar Associates was as authentic as possible."

The article goes on at length to describe the nature of the competition and how Lancaster Catholic High School, coached by a team of top lawyers, prevailed in a tie breaker against last year county champion McCaskey High School.

WATCHDOG: It is good to see local media publicizing Mock Trial which deserves as much attention as sports events. It is at mock trial that future professionals and leaders of our community and nation learn essential skills and first test their mettle.
