For the first time in its young history, the Trinity College mock trial team qualified for and competed in the final round of nationals in Des Moines, Iowa.  A young team with few resources, Trinity Mock Trial was projected to win not a single ballot.  This past weekend, the team not only came home with ballots, but a top-ten title.

The team faced Notre Dame, UC Santa Cruz, Macalester, and Northwestern, finishing out the tournament with a record of 4-3-1.

In addition, Zachary Green (’12) won individual recognition as the highest ranked defense attorney in the nation, and an All-American Attorney.

The team would like to thank our parents, our coaches- Pamela Levin Cameron, George Cameron and Joeseph Rossetti-  and especially Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hubbell III, who showed us true midwestern hospitality in Des Moines.  We would also like to thank our mentors, Professors Cabot and Fulco, as well as President Jones for their continued support and encouragement.

Below are the rankings from the tournament.  Congratulations, team!
