Clark earns honorable mention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Mock Trial Team<\/a> had an impressive showing at the American Mock Trial Association Regional Tournament last month, earning an honorable mention as four students also received individual awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clarkies split into two teams and competed against students from Tufts University, Fordham University, Boston College, Connecticut College, Iona University, and Quinnipiac University.\u00a0One team placed 11th overall out of 26 total teams, earning Clark an honorable mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morgan Vail ’29 received the Outstanding Attorney award, and Uddipto Nandi ’26, Noah Hart ’28, and Caleb Howard ’25 each received the\u00a0Outstanding Witness award. Vail and Hart were competing for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mock Trial is coached by Steven Kennedy<\/a> \u201988, an adjunct professor in the Political Science Department<\/a> and the School of Business<\/a>. This is his 20th year coaching the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
