OBA and OJEN’s Law Day

I had the honour of judging the Law Day Peel Mock Trial Tournament finals held at Gordon Graydon Memorial Secondary School on April 24th . The top two schools competed in a neck-and-neck race with Cawthra Park Secondary School  as defence and Chinguacousy Secondary School as crown in the day’s final mock trial.

Both schools did a great job and it was clear to me that they grasped the overarching legal concepts and court room procedures. Cawthra Park edged out Chinguacousy because they had a bit more court-room flare and were better prepared. My guess is that a few of the legal team members are dramatic arts majors at Cawthra Park.

On a personal note, being back at my alma mater, Graydon, on the eve of my 30th birthday made me wistful beyond words. Special thanks to  Ontario Justice Education Network and the OBA.
