Congratulations to CSW’s Mock Trial team that went undefeated at the statewide virtual competition on February 19 and 20. After winning 4 out of 4 trials, they were named 2nd in the state.

This year, 20 teams from public, private, parochial, and charter schools throughout Delaware took part in the two-day mock trial competition that involved more than 300 students, 32 teachers, and 40 attorney advisors. Team members include: seniors Lucia Gotera, Neha Das, Nick Kulda, Atharva Shanbhag, Jordyn Flaherty; juniors Bella Palacio, Emily So; sophomores Rebekah Cheong, Arielle Flaherty, Varun Vadhera; and freshmen Claire McCann and Caroline Dooley.

“Best Witness” Gavels went to Atharva Shanbhag and Bella Palacio. Nick Kulda and Jordyn Flaherty took home “Best Attorney” Gavels, and Lucia Gotera won TWO “Best Attorney” Gavels. The club was moderated this year by Mrs. Holly Gosser.

Special thanks to our coaches who are also CSW parents, Attorney Doug McCann and Sue McCann, who spent the last five months working with our students.
