Syosset Mock Trial Team Impresses At Tournament

The Syosset High School Mock Trial team advanced through six rounds of the 2018 New York State Mock Trial Tournament to compete in the Nassau County Finals held on April 30. Of the 48 schools competing, the Syosset team was one of only two teams to advance to the final round and was recently honored by the Nassau County Bar Association for their impressive showing at this event.

Thousands of students participate annually in the New York State Mock Trial Tournament, which is co-sponsored by The New York Bar Association, and provides students with first-hand knowledge of civil/criminal law and courtroom procedures. The Syosset Mock Trial team has advanced to the quarterfinals in this tournament for the past four years.
