WITNESS SWEARS IN Sophomore attorney, Angela Karanja, temporarily plays the role of bailiff to swear in Junior witness, Anthony Laguna, during a mock trial scrimmage for the Gray Team. To ensure that witnesses do not lie or make up scenarios that are not from the case packet, they swear to tell the complete truth in both their direct and cross examinations. “My favorite part of mock trial is the experience of learning how a real court case works with my friends, and people I look up to,” Karanja said.

That doesn’t offer a lot, especially with how strict they are on wearing the uniform,” Asuncion said.
