Students from high
schools across Macomb County gathered at the county courthouse earlier
this month to participate in a regional mock trial competition. The
daylong event was presented by the Michigan Center for Civil Education
and sponsored by the Macomb County Bar Foundation. Among those on hand
for the event included (left to right) Richard Goodman, Jackson Goodman,
Wes Goodman, Mallory Fiordellisi, Magistrate Mark McCoskey, Nanette
Cortese, Steffani Russo, Jevonna Fudge, Sean Blume, Meghan Patero, Judge
Michael Chupa, Grace Crivello, Deborah Hill, Eva Tkaczyk, Lauren
Walker, Cheyenne Schnur, Timothy Mulligan, Latoya Willis, Erykah
Howell-Stewart and Renee VanderHagen. The competition is designed to
reenact much of what might take place in trial courts with student teams
taking on the roles of attorneys and witnesses. Along with area judges,
attorneys and other members of the legal community volunteer for the
event in various capacities. Teams from Romeo and Richmond won the right
to advance to the State Competition in Lansing.
