LIVINGSTON COUNTY — From an original field of 17 area schools, three Livingston County high schools have advanced to the Quarterfinals of the 2011 G.L.O.W (Genesee, Livingston, Ontario and Wyoming Counties) High School Mock Trial Tournament to be held at the Genesee County Courthouse in Batavia on Monday, March 21, 2011 @ 5:30.
Teams from Avon, Dansville and York will be competing against five other regional schools for a chance to reach the Semifinals that will be held at the Livingston County Courthouse in Geneseo on Wednesday, March 23, 2011 @ 5:30.
The G.L.O.W. Finals will be held at the Wyoming County Courthouse in Warsaw on Monday, March 28, 2011.
This is the ninth year of participation for the Livingston County Bar Association and Livingston County Coordinator Eric Schiener in the New York State Bar Association’s Statewide High School Mock Trial Tournament and its third year as part of the G.L.O.W sub-regional tournament.
Now in its 28th year, the annual Statewide High School Mock Trial Tournament, the nation's largest, provides students with hands-on opportunities to further their understanding of the law, court procedures, and our legal system, while honing their speaking, listening, reading, and reasoning skills. This year’s mock trial case involves a high school student bringing suit against the village and the village board for amending a parking law that the student believes is a violation of the student’s constitutional rights.
