The New York State Mock Trial Program

The pandemic has had wide-ranging consequences, including the cancellation of school programs. The Mock Trial competition sponsored by the New York State Bar Association was one such casualty. The defending Suffolk County champions, Northport High School, coached by attorneys Mark Goidell and David Lazer, were prevented by the pandemic from defending their crown. This was extremely disappointing to the team and coaches, but especially painful for the seniors. They were an extremely talented and hard-working group. We wish them much success and good health in college and beyond.
