This weekend UCI Mock Trial kicked off the Fall Season with UC Santa Barbara’s invitational tournament: Mocktopia. Teams Pikachu and Charmander faced varied competition and came out on top with Pikachu coming in 2nd and Charmander coming in 3rd in the whole tournament! On top of that, our teams collected a handful of individual awards. From Charmander, Rebecca Liu got a perfect 20 rank attorney award (on the Bye team!), Allie D’Alessandro scored a 17 rank witness award and Dylan Darwish walked away with both a 20 rank attorney award and a 16 rank witness award. From Pikachu, Josiah Jones collected an 18 rank attorney award. We are so proud of our teams for starting the season with a bang and we can’t wait to see what we accomplish the rest of the season!
