Chief Justice Presides Over Hudson Mock Trial Competition

Chief Justice Stuart Rabner and Superior Court Judge Mark A.

Chief Justice Stuart Rabner and Superior Court Judge Mark A. Baber listen and take notes as Sarah Levine, a student at McNair Academy in Jersey City, questions Rahat Merchant, a student at Weehawken High School, during the final round of the Hudson County high school mock trial competition on Feb. 2 at the Hudson County Administration Building in Jersey City. McNair Academy defeated Weehawken High School and will compete against the Morris County mock trial winner in the northern regional competition of the Vincent J. Apruzzese High School Mock Trial Program on Feb. 11 at the New Jersey Law Center in New Brunswick.

The 2010 Hudson County mock trial competition comprised nine high school teams who compete against each other as they play various courtroom roles, including attorneys, witnesses, and jurors, in a fictional court case developed by the bar foundation. This year’s mock trial was based on a fictitious criminal case about the kidnapping of a 12-year old.
