By: Ratna Gupta, Mock Trial Coach D'Evelyn participated in the Colorado High School Mock Trial Competition at the Jefferson County courthouse on March 3-4, 2023, along with 24 teams from across Colorado who had won their regional competitions. The competition consisted of four challenging and intense rounds, with numerous awards and the opportunity to advance to the national competition at stake. Overall, D'Evelyn came in 6th place and was awarded the highly coveted Professionalism Award, which is given to only one team out of the 24 competing. This award is particularly special because it recognizes the team's exemplary professionalism, ethical conduct, and behavior towards others, not just within the courtroom but also in their interactions with others. The team, known as the "JAYHAWKS" at the competition, earned this esteemed award. In addition, there were several individual awards given out. Mathias Bauer was awarded the Best Overall Attorney in the entire competition and placed third as a defense attorney. Tony Adams placed 5th out of 24 for his portrayal of Blake Katsopolis and won 10th overall best witness in the entire competition, and Diya Gupta placed third overall out of 24 for her role as Avery Gladstone, a defense expert witness.
