The case dealt with a school news- paper and the students on its staff who felt that their First Amendment rights had been violated. With the help of Mock Trial Coach Miss Monica Flakus, Attorney Mary CBil- bride and many practices, the Mock Tri- al Team went into competition. Howev- er. the team was made up largely of stu- dents new to Mock Trial, and they were soon out of the competition. I think for the amount of experience we had, we did fairly well,” commented Freshman Chris Hain. Coach Monica Flakus agreed, and added. We had a young team.
