CHS’ mock trial team has earned its first Law Day championship.

At the 50th annual Law Day, hosted by Northport High School in conjunction with the New York Bar Association, the team advanced to the playoff round.

Then, after three additional mini-trials, the team had won the championship.

Students from school districts across Long Island competed in the mock trials, which were judged by real-life attorneys and judges.

Teams rotated among classrooms and received information about fictional cases. They then had just a few minutes to construct prosecution or defense cases.

The trial topics were inspired by famous films from each of the past five decades.
