VARSITY MOCK TRIAL INFO MEETING

Dear Mercy Students (and Parents – You're Invited Too!),

Are you passionate about debate, strategy, and standing up in a courtroom to argue your case? If you thrive on teamwork, quick thinking, and a bit of drama (the good kind!), the Mercy Varsity Mock Trial Team might be your perfect fit.

We're hosting a Student & Parent Information Meeting to introduce what it truly means to compete as a member of our award-winning Mercy Varsity Mock Trial Team. This isn't just a club—it's a high-commitment team sport for the mind, where we prepare rigorously and compete fiercely in regional and state tournaments.

Event Details:

• Date: Wednesday, October 22, 2025
• Time: 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
• Location: McAuley Academic Center, Mercy High School (easy parking in the main lot – enter through the front doors and follow signs)

At the meeting, you'll hear from our coaches and current team members about:

• The thrill of simulating real court cases – from witness cross-examinations to closing arguments.
• Our twice-weekly practices (typically evenings, fitting around academics and other activities).
• The absolute commitment required: Full dedication to our key competitions on February 28, 2026 (regional round) and March 20-22, 2026 (state finals). We compete to win, not just participate – and with your drive, Mercy can go all the way!

This is your chance to ask questions, see sample cases in action, and envision yourself as a key player on the team. Students: Bring your competitive spirit! Parents: Your insights on schedules and support are welcome – we'll cover logistics like transportation and time management.

No prior experience needed – just enthusiasm and reliability. Let's build the next generation of Mercy advocates, leaders, and champions. See you on October 22 – your future in the spotlight awaits!
