Mock Trial


This past Saturday I had the privilege of watching Seneca High School students compete in Mock Trial at the Greenville County Courthouse. The SC Bar prepares a case each year- either civil or criminal- for students to use for the mock trial. This year's case was a civil case that was modeled after the McDonald's hot coffee case. There were 13 teams competing in the Piedmont Region. Chase Huston and Cooper Littlejohn were recognized as outstanding attorneys in their respective rounds.

The following students participated:

Defense Attorneys- Cooper Littlejohn, Lauren Moore, and Zach Al Nasser

Witnesses for the Defense- Brittany Buchanan, Laura Klukkert, and Devan Williams

Plaintiff Attorneys- Alondara Guerra, Hunter Jarrett, and Chase Huston

Witnesses for the Plaintiff- Kelly Vicario, Jenna Lay, and Morgan Roper

Baliff- Claire Yuda

Timekeeper- Paige Blackmon

I was so impressed with our students!


A huge thank you to Mock Trial Advisors- Mrs. Nan Jones, Mrs. Amy Livingston, and Mrs. Cynthia Carlisle.


I would also like to thank our attorney coaches Delane Rosemond and Kim Welchel.
