Hear from our attorney coaches below:
“My greatest joy as a coach for the LHS Mock Trial Team is when I see the students’ excitement when they know they have done a great job, and they appreciate the value of working hard to achieve a great result. It is also very heartwarming when I see them realize they have the skills for persuasion, critical thinking and collaboration, all of which will enable them to successfully navigate life’s adventures.”
Yahariah Aristy, Deputy Public Defender
“Coaching the Lincoln High School Mock Trial team is important to me because I believe that students, who do not interact with attorneys in their day-to-day lives, benefit from interacting with attorneys that share their similar roots and culture. This in turn inspires them to enter the legal system and creates a pipeline of diversity in the legal system.”
Genevieve Jones-Wright, Deputy Public Defender
"Mock trial is a wonderful opportunity to gain public speaking skills, confidence, and a thorough grasp of real trial skills. I love working with the students and helping them learn and grow. By the end of the school year, they are practically ready to step into a courtroom and handle real cases."
Sarah Shehkter, Deputy Public Defender
