Keep up with Do Good Things Justice and He alth for All. Attend the Mock Trial Competition.\n\nThis week is the week of Region IV Mock Trial Competitions. The winner of the Regionals will com pete for the New York State Championship on May 23rd and 24th. All competi tions this year are via Zoom.\n\nThe Region IV competition will involve ea ch team holding two trials\; the first\, this Monday\, April 25th\, and th e second\, Tuesday\, April 26th. Each team will perform the role of Prosec ution at one trial and the role of Defense at the next. The two teams with the highest scores will proceed to a final round on Thursday\, April 28th . All region IV trials will start at 5:30 p.m.. The Zoom links are listed below for all three days of the Region IV competition.\n\nNyack has been d esignated as “Team B” for all trials. This means that on Monday\, Nyac k will represent the Defendant against The Mount Academy (Ulster County Ch ampion) as Prosecution. On Tuesday\, Nyack will play Prosecution against M onroe-Woodbury (Orange County Champion) as Defense. As you will see some o f the Nyack Team appear on both sides which makes for a fun and interestin g competition.\n\nThe case is a criminal trial of a stock broker accused o f conspiring to and then running a classic Ponzi scheme defrauding investo rs of millions of dollars. Students have had to learn about the workings o f the stock market and in particular about exotic derivative investments a s well as having had to learn about the workings of the criminal justice s ystem including courtroom decorum\, the rules of evidence and ethical atto rney behavior. They have worked very hard giving up parts of their weekend s\, afternoons and school vacations to become prepared. I know I join teac her coaches\, Steve Nardi and Pat Gavigan as well as assistant attorney ad visor\, Giulia Palermo\, Esq.\, in saying we are very proud of the teams p erformance and accomplishments. We know you will be too.\n\nSome reminders if you join us on Zoom this week to watch. First\, there is to be no comm unication of any sort with team members once the trial starts until after closing arguments have been delivered and the judge concludes the case (un like the Rockland County competition\, judges will not announce who won). Team members must be in separate rooms and on separate devices from observ ers and other team members. Observers should have their video turned off a nd microphones muted at all times. Team members must have back-up electron ic devices in the event of technical problems on their main electronic dev ices.\n\nOne final note. The Nyack Mock Trial Team is being presented with an award for winning the Rockland County Championship as part of the annu al Law Day ceremony on Friday April 29th. That ceremony is open to the pub lic (Masks required) and will be held in the Jury Assembly Room on the sec ond floor of the Rockland County Courthouse from 9:30 till 11:30 a.m. If y ou can come\, I urge you to do so\, but arrive early because you will have to pass through the courthouse metal detectors on your way in.\n\nDr. Dun can Rogers Lee II\, Lead Attorney Advisor\n\nNyack High School Mock Trial Team\n\nZoom Links for Regionals\n\nRound 1 – Monday\, April 25\, 2022\n \nTeam A v.
