"Our Mock Trial team has been undefeated in Palm Beach County for nine years in a row, and we are the State of Florida Champions for the last two years. Our success is not limited to Florida, as we are also the 2022 Champions of the Yale Bulldog Competition, and back-to-back 2021 and 2022 Providence Cup Champions in Denver. We attribute our success to our students' commitment to preparation, determination, and teamwork. As coaches, we emphasize the importance of an ethical, productive, and inclusive environment to model the students' future successes in the real world. We are very proud of their accomplishments!" - Mrs. Ani Porter (Director of Legal Studies Program)
