The Lawrenceville School defeated Princeton High School to win this year’s Mercer County Mock Trial Competition.
The competition is a yearly event sponsored by the New Jersey State Bar Foundation. Students spend months preparing for a fictitious case.
The Lawrenceville School team included students Bryan Lee, Jonas Frumkin, Fernando Guerrero, Eric Chen, Jack Lavin, Azam Janmohamed, Lisa Liu, Aly Sledge, Anna Vinitsky, Olivia Brandon and Maxx Wragan. The team is coached by teacher Champneys Atlee. The team was also aided by Lydia Fabbro Keephart and Christopher DeAngelo, two Princeton attorneys from the law firm of Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman.
Having won at the county level, the team will represent Mercer County in the Regional Competition on February 5 at the New Jersey State Bar Association’s Law Center in New Brunswick.
