A solid team in every way! From their talent and brilliant coaching to their professionalism, faith, and dedication, we honor Lakeland Christian School for winning the National High School Mock Trial Championship, Inc.

What were you doing on the weekend when you were in middle school? Take a look at these middle school students! From start to finish, what an inspiring day with middle school students from the panhandle to Miami at the Hillsborough County Courthouse learning about the courts and the legal process. Judge Christopher Nash, attorney Justin Fahringer, and local trial lawyers, prelaw students, and former high school mock trial students gathered to celebrate Law Week and the finals of the state middle school mock trial competition.

Congratulations to American Heritage for their first place championship honors! The King's Academy in Palm Beach County placed second place, and Mater Lakes Academy in Miami placed third. We celebrated the accomplishments of middle school students as they practiced their persuasive arguments, critical thinking, and legal reasoning skills. They are starting early!

Lots of visitors on campus today learning about the Constitution, Florida Southern, and pre-law!
