16 Gulf Pine Catholic • March 1, 2024 K nights of C olumbus The Young Lawyers Division of the Mississippi Bar sponsors the Mississippi High School Mock Trial Competition, in which Hattiesburg’s Sacred Heart Catholic School has participated since 2008. In the competition, students take on the roles of lawyers and witnesses in a case that the state committee has pre- pared, and experienced lawyers or judges serve as the jury and presiding judges. Teams are evaluated on their ability to make a logical, cohesive, and persuasive pre- sentation. The competition gives students the opportu- nity to gain first-hand knowledge of civil and criminal law and courtroom procedures. According to current local attorney coaches for the team, Mary Moore and Ward Conville and David Miller, in 2023, Sacred Heart’s Mock Trial Team won the Mississippi High School Mock Trial Competition for the 13th consecu- tive year and represented the Magnolia State in nation- al competition in each of those years.
