This resolution, a Senate Resolution, formally recognizes and honors the JET Middle School Mock Trial Team for their victory in the 2025 Middle School Mock Trial State Championship. The resolution highlights the team's success in a competition judged by attorneys, where students demonstrated their understanding and presentation of a fictional legal case, including the use of evidence and courtroom roles. It acknowledges the fifteen student participants, their teacher coaches, and their attorney coach, and provides context about the South Carolina Bar Middle School Mock Trial Program, explaining that it's an extracurricular activity designed to teach students about due process, the American judicial system, litigation, critical thinking, public speaking, and good citizenship. Finally, the resolution directs that a copy of this commendation be presented to the JET Middle School Mock Trial Team.
