The D'Evelyn Mock Trial Team has secured a remarkable 3rd place win at the Regional competition held at the Jefferson County Court House this last Friday and Saturday. Their exceptional performance qualifies them for the State competition, which will be taking place on March 3 and 4th, once again at the Jefferson County Court House. Each year the students receive a case from the Colorado Bar Association, sometimes on high profile cases in the news. Teams are comprised of prosecution and defense with 3 attorneys and 3 witnesses on each side. The competition was the toughest this year with 14 teams competing, litigating the college admissions scandal case. Both DEvelyn teams were in the Top 5 teams through Round 3. After Round 4, D'Evelyn Team A placed 3rd overall out of 14 teams and was the 1st among all public Jeffco schools in District 1. In addition to the team win, several talented students from the team received individual awards for their performances as witnesses and attorneys. Important to note, D'Evelyn overall took the most individual awards of all of the schools competing. Witness awards
